What’s the suggestion here

 

1.     Go back and read your topic from start to finish.

2.     Pay close attention to the consistent comments from:

Admin,

Moderators,

LostinCanada, plus this recent comment

https://antidepressantrecovery.org/topic/618-rekonum-my-current-journey-on-lexapro/page/17/#findComment-34573

 

3.     Assess if you are starting to feel better or worse after reinstating 10mg for the 2^nd time. If worse,

 

4.     Consider whether how you are starting to feel is reminiscent of how you felt when you first came to the site after reinstating 10mg on the first occasion. If you are starting to feel worse:

 

5.     Consider if this reinforces the view that 10mg was too high a dose to reinstate…the 1^st time and the 2^nd time. If this is the case, reflect on what was suggested by Admin/Moderators/LostinCanada the first time.

 

People on this site are trying to spare you the pain they experienced in a similar situation.

just an update:

Still on 10mg; not as bad as first time but I think the klonopin is “blocking” some of that activation

I’d say chest tightness is a moderately worse since reinstatement, and it isnt all the time. I’ve had some moments of feeling wired but not as bad as before

Things that have improved (not since starting lexapro but havent went away since starting it):

•appetite.. I’m eating everything in the house right now lol

•tired and able to sleep even with the “mild” wired feeling

•can enjoy playing games and doing some things without suffering every second while doing it (windows of relief)

•health anxiety

things that have gotten worse or persisted since reinstatement:

•constipation (i havent moved much and diet is horrible also havent drunk much water so may not even be side effect rather just lifestyle problem)

•sleep schedule is messed up

•heat intolerance (stayed same)

•a little more agoraphobic again since reinstatement

•this has persisted since effexor or dose increase in klonopin but weaker erections, complete ED, or just lower libido

Just thought I’d give an update since some people wanted to track it even though I’m hard headed and still listening to doctors advice.. I’m giving it 8-12 weeks on lexapro 10mg unless it gets really really bad again which idk it may will but I’m kind of having to exhaust this option since parents and docs said I didn’t give it enough time before and I played with dosages entirely too much
