I’m on about day 9 or so of 5mg and for anxiety and depression and especially health anxiety. The first few days on it were horrible. I took it about 6 years ago for 6 months for ppd but I didn’t remember the side effects bothering me so much. My anxiety initially was much much worse this time after taking it but I think it’s because right now it’s health anxiety so side effects freak me out. At this point I’m ok other than being tired during the day, but at night I keep waking with a racing heart beet some nights which is freaking me out and then I am scared to go back to sleep. It could be nocturnal panic attacks and not necessarily the meds, my friend is a nurse and thinks that’s probably what it is. But it’s making my anxiety worse and now I’m not sleeping well on top of Co sleeping with a nursing toddler so I was already not sleeping well to begin with. Tonight my plan is to skip my dose and take it in the morning instead to try that out but I’m really struggling. I had a few good day’s but today was rough and I had to call my husband home from work to take leave to help me. Last week I went to my parents with my kids and they took care of us. I can’t keep relying on everyone else but I’m scared to be alone because of my anxiety. I’m rambling but thought some of you might understand via /r/lexapro https://ift.tt/2HEImRT
