I just started TMS. I am only about 5 sessions in. But I think I feel better already.

Started taking 10mg around 3 hours ago..... So far: 1 hour: Nothing 1.5 Hours: Intense feelings, weird breathing, very lethargic, bad stomach, a little panicky and shakey 3 Hours: Seems to have settled down a lot, defiantly still a little lethargic, but less intense I tried citalopram before (not escitalopram which im talking about here) and never had any of these symptoms, absolutely no symptoms tbh and i started on 20mg went up to 30mg. Ill update in in 2 weeks :D

Hey. I got prescribed 5mg of Lexapro and I'm scared to take it. Does anyone have any advice?

Are you still taking the lexapro?

What MG did you start on? You’re so great for this!!

The first night is exactly how I felt too, I tried to eat food, and then I vomited in the middle of the night

😂 My doctor put me on this medication a year ago and I never went on it. I promised him that I will start taking it and he sent the script in again because I has thrown out the other bottle. I am terrified😂😂 laugh or cry?. I have had severe reactions to psychotropic medications. Used to be that they would put me in the hospital for a couple of days to safely navigate that transition out of that medication. I'm going to start it in a few minutes. Wish me luck reading the comment section. It does give me some hope. Anxiety has been ruling my life for the past year. It has gotten so severe. Maybe even more like a year and a half after having been the victim of a home invasion. After many other things in my life, I kind of came unraveled a lot happened so much in this past year alone.

Today is my first day! I hope I see a difference -June 25, 2024 I’ll come back to update on my journey!

Thanks for sharing i totally understand how you feel. that part “Living your head “

Watchinng it in 2024 before my interview. Tank you

I take Methylfolate supplements everyday along with my daily dose of Lexapro, 20mg. This is due to a genetic test that showed I possess the MTHFR mutation that hinders the conversion of dietary folate into methylfolate (which is the only form that can enter the brain). Just read up on the symptoms of this deficiency. It’s an extremely noticeable difference in efficacy of the SSRI.

I'm going in for a consultation on Friday for Deep TMS. I hope my insurance will cover it but... I'm a bit worried. I've heard of bad side effects like headaches and such. Then there's the people who didn't feel a difference after doing tms. I'm honestly sick and tired of having to take meds all the time and they eventually lose their effects anyhow.

I've been going to the psychiatrist for 5 years now because I got tired of self medicating and she gave me wellbutrin and klonopin and then switched me to adderall in Jan 2021. Adderall made me hypomanic but it was better than being depressed and anxious. I came off of everything this year in attempt to see how I feel naturally..I definitely need to be on something- I think I may have a very mild bipolar. I've been sleeping 4 hours a night and this is after months of normal sleep and being sober. My mind is racing right now, it's kinda driving me nuts lol

So how are you feeling now?

How are you feeling now? 4:30 reallt got me in the feels. I’m so sorry

On day 3 she should've taken the Hydroxozine. Thats what its for. Edit.... I guess she did.

Please give the book "Anxiety Rx" by Russell Kennedy a chance .... The author is very open to a blend of Western & Eastern approaches. Highly Recommend this BOOK!!

i know exactly what you're going through. im sorry

I guess social media can be fun, but it's toxic as far as everyone seems so damn perfectly happy and this is just not reality. This is just an image people are trying to project ... all the perfect pictures of perfect food, all the perfect family pictures...yak yak yak. Life isn't like this at least at the pitch it is presented on social media. I would suggest to anyone to just put it away. If anyone prefers a non prescription path to managing anxiety there's plenty of information out there to help in this way too. I know anxiety way too well and it is a mind screw. It's all deception though and you will be just fine. Just work through it and be patient. You are certainly not alone and life is not all fun and games sometimes. You're getting stronger every day even though you think you're not.

So wait til you want to come off this big Pharma poison. Watch Dr.. Josef-Witt Doerring videos about ADs.

It doesn't work for you sweetie

Just started on 5mg today. Hoping for the best.

Just start on it yesterday used to be on sertaline but last year I got diagnosed wirh ADHD and weened off it and that didnt go so well for me so asked for something with a low dose so i can also treat my Anxiety , depressiom and PMDD. I think it is tuff and a process but good to know we are not alone and I am glad you had the courage to share.❤

Thanks again for documenting this experience! I know it's an old video, but really helps anyway

Thank you for this video 😊

I had the heightened sense of smell too

Great video! You're such a knockout!

If they use magnetic charge..why does it cost $40,000 US

Thank you

I love your outfit videos :)

Hey I'm suffering as well, I know these posts are very old but have you found any relief? And how? Please and thank you

OMG, you are so brave to post this!! I just got prescribed lexapro and I'm SO nervous about it. And, I think it actually helped me to see how hard your first week was because I think it's REALLY easy to talk myself out of medication when I'm having side effects. And, I think having a realistic picture of how hard it could be is actually really helpful. And, maybe I can start when I have time to take some naps!! Or, start by taking it at night. I also really relate to somebody is always mad at me - my anxiety makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong ALL the time.

I feel your pain big time!! All night anxiety attacks? Yup. Not sleeping five minutes for a few days? Yup! All that for no discernable reason completely out of nowhere? Yyyyyyyep!! Paced the first floor of my house all frieken night trying to calm down. I did that exact prescription combo (Lexapro and Hydroxyzine). The hydroxyzine at least took most of the edge off until the Lexapro kicked in after a few weeks. 2 months later, I'm just on Lexapro (went from 5mg to 10mg and probably will up to 15mg in a couple of weeks when I meet with my psychiatrist next). Insomnia is much improved but still an issue here and there. Anxiety is ALMOST all gone, but like I said, I might need to bump up the strength one more notch.

I really love this video. I don’t know why I didn’t run into this video earlier. I am a 43 year old man, and I have been through the exact same thing. Please post an updated video

I hope you are doing good now

Hello, thanks for sharing. I am trying to learn how to use Power Point for primary teaching. I will review the video several times.

Do you gain or lose any weight on it? I got prescribed this, and i am not sure about taking it.. because I saw a lot of reviews saying there's weight gain

Today is my first day!

im with you exactly i hope youre doing okay. im done with anxiety and depression and gotten to the point where nothing like breathing and therapy works either. i think im day 14 still stuck in my room. got to the point where I'm anxious of being anxious if that makes sense

Love this video! :)

Great video content! Thank you for your tips!

Do you have wobble chairs

the itchy skin may be from the hydroxyzine, which is an antihistamine medication originally developed for hives but often prescribed to reduce anxiety symptoms. if taken for several days and then stopped, the withdrawl may actually create hives. that happened to me when i took hydroxyzine for several weeks and then stopped.

You are so beautiful. Hope you are always happy. Also, taking Lexapro and seeing positive changes.

Thank you for sharing your struggle.

I’m starting tonight, wish me luck! Nervousness kickin innnnnnnn

My doctor just suggested this. How did this work with a teacher schedule?

❤❤❤ Thanks for your helpn
