Hello

I have anxiety and somewhat of a depression issue. (58 year old woman, post menopause)

Treated with Xanax . Never took much small amounts every so often would help me.

A few months ago I was having a very difficult time with alot going on.

My GP had me talk with a psych nurse to prescribe the meds.

I was put on Lexapro.

Started low at 5mg making my way to 12.5

Only on for 2 months

I really cannot stand being on antidepressants. I have been before when I had postpartum depression.

Anyway, i have weaned off. I am happy I have because, although it did help calm me it made me have such a blah feeling and that I could nap every day.

Anyway. I have been off about a week . I have tinnitis in my ears.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thank YOu
