Lois, Christine, Nickie...I've been posting! Can't you guys see my posts? 😞. I'm doing a lot better today than the last few. I know about the brain fog....Yesterday, I saw my therapist and had one of my best sessions. I even mentioned the brain fog... I've been having such realistic dreams lately that they are literally confusing me thinking I've actually had these conversations with people!! Oh geez, I'm schizophrenic now???? Ha. She really focused me and over the last several months, and me really needing to hear it again, she pointed out that I don't NEED to worry about people or circumstances that I can't control. Because worrying doesn't change the outcomes....Worrying changes us. It's so 100% true!!!!!!! My therapist is a Christian so at the very onset of therapy, I told her if she had any faith based ideas, to share them with me because I'm Catholic and it helps me a lot. She does!!! So yesterday, she said what I tell everyone, "cast your worries to the Lord". Trusting in him to guide me when I can't focus or know what to do, has really calmed me. But there are days when it's hard to do that because I'm all over the place emotionally. I think it takes us a while until we get it, especially when were in the throes of an anxiety or panic attack. That's why I have a dry erase board with quotes on it. It's where I see it all the time.

Here in the Pittsburgh is pouring rain! It's gloomy and soggy. But thankfully I feel better today. I slept really well and I woke up with just a twinge of anxiety, but it's already gone.

I know my medicine is working. It's time time-release capsule and if I'm within an hour of taking it I start getting little dizzy spells, I slept in past 6 today normally I take it at 6 I took it about a half an hour. I started feeling those little zaps. So that's a good sign.

Anyway, your ladies are always in my nightly prayers as is all of the anxiety sufferers out there looking for hope and answers. Despite what we see in the news, God had given us a beautiful world to live in and we must find our way to seeing that everyday!

God bless you all!!! May peace be in your hearts and minds!

Glad to hear honey!

On my end, I think I might have a source of my anxiety. Ladies I think I have pms or pmdd...

It explains everything

In August, anxiety started before my menses and improved first few days into menses. Same thing happened late August and in September

I had also just came off birth control after 10 years (after my anxiety had started though). Ocps might have masked my symptoms over the years but as I age (am 37), my normal hormones change and ocps were no longer protective

My mother, sister and other can members have this...

As this was the first time I experienced anxiety/low mood, I panicked, not sure what was going on. My therapist, neurologist and pdoc couldn't quite figure it out but I think I have

Anyway, I guess im a lexapro lifer...lol...which is fine. Lexapro, along with paxil and prozac are great for pms/pmdd, taken either during luteal phase or daily

Anyway, taking it one day at a time but definately feeling significantly better now, menses ended yesterday

Hello Ladies...Tammy Glad to hear that u r having some good moments.. Yes that's what I mean by my heart is good and that my brain is the problem.. The trusting in the Lord to take care of everything is not a problem with my  Heart to do it... It's just that my brain takes over and wants to control stuff.. Which we r never in control.. That's why we have Aniexty.. It's our minds playing tricks on us... I understand how and why my mind does this its just the stopping and changing the rut that's the work...our weather is like yours only we have ice .. Sooo Verryyyyyy  cloudy.. Foggy and Nasty and Cold rolled into one.. But it's a ok day..we will endure and make it...Lois Ann.. Hoping your Day is Great..Christine.. Sooo glad u r getting your intense therapy that in its self will help Sooo Verryyyy much...We will make it .. I'm praying that by Spring time we all  will have see no reattach improvement..One Day At A Time..When my son and daughter was just starting out in life my husband and I gave each of our children life verses.. Our son's was Phil. 4:13 and our Daughter's was Psalm 37:4.. If y'all get a chance today read them.. It is a Blessing.. I feel like I know you all and it's not our Hearts that's the problem it's our Brains.. Nothing negative about us being smart ..It's just because we try and do and be everything to everyone and it takes a lot out of us.. We need to reprogram and do for ourselves and know that it's ok to not be able to do everything for everyone..it's going to be a Wonderful and Blest Day...🤗💞😇 Talk Soon..Enjoy You Day..

Sometimes we just figure our own issues out.. Good for u Lois Ann... So do u continue with Lexapro..? I to experienced horrible pms and I still tell my Drs. Even tho I've had a complete Hystorectomy I still go through a cycle.. I just don't have a period...I just have the emotional issues plus my other trauma issues which make the combination not so good.. Have A Blest Day..Prayers to all..😇

Tammy.. I 4got to put in other post.. The last post I read from u was about a day ago... So yes I'm reading them.. Please continue... Prayers continue..talk soon..🤗💞😇

Yes.....I continue lexapro

Treatment for pms/pmdd are ssris...Prozac, Zoloft, Celera, lexapro, etc...

Despite hysterectomy, you can continue pms because you still have ovaries producing hormone. Estrogen increases serotonin and decreased estrogen during luteal phase is what causes the problem

That's also why menopause can cause mood issues as well

Damn, men are lucky 😠....😅

I never told you guys this, but I had 3 traumatic concussions growing up all within the same school year.... sledding, skateboarding and flag football. I was knocked out all three times and hospitalized for 2. I wonder if that had anything to do with my anxiety?

I had a complete Hystorectomy but I still cycle.. Trust me I do.. I know the signs and symptoms oh to well...My body doesn't break down estrogen.. So I use a progesterone complete cream that I buy at a local green market..that's what started a chain reaction back in Nov. b4 my OBGYN did my saliva test she really wanted me to quit my progesterone complete and just do estrogen .. Oh my 6 weeks off my cream and started estrogen .. I went nuts.. Aniexty and panic horrible then the death of a dear friend and then another friend had a stroke .. I was a basket case .. I then told the dr.. U have got to do something I can not take estrogen as I had said so many times b4.. This time she believed me and did a saliva test that came back with many good things about my DNA ... One is that I do not break down estrogen well at all.. And there is many meds that will give me a very neg. reaction..but there is a list of meds. That work well with my DNA Lexapro is one of them.. Didn't mean to rattle on but thought it might make more sense if I explained a little..So with that said .. I do have hormone issues that causes everything else to b more intense at times.. I'm just up and down... And maybe that's just set the way I will b.. Idk but I'm hoping not.. Tomorrow will b the 2nd week on 10 mg. of Lexapro... Some good changes ...but maybe the Best is yet to come..Take Care Ladies..😊

Tammy...again there is more trauma... More aniexty as a child... Heavens Yes I believe anything that was tram a as a small child can and will cause issues.. That is scary to b knocked out as a child look what it does to a aldult...I would talk to my Theripist about that but I say Yes.. If u still remember it and it cause u to become uncomfortable now .. Then I say it needs to b addressed as to how it made u feel as a child..that inner child still hurts from all that trauma... We need to take care of that little inner child...Love Her and tell her she is ok...🤗💞😇

Yes, give it time

Lexapro is a good drug for many ppl

L

Well, I had fun as a kid and those concussions were fun getting.... If I can say that. I was in 8th to grade for two of them. The skateboarding was in the summer. Doesn't make me uncomfortable. Just wondering if shaking my brain inside my skull plays a role in the anxiety. I know I've had migraines because of them.

On the flip side, I recovered well from the concussions. Some people have severe lasting effects. I didn't. Although, this is a kinda funny, when I started to daye my husband (high school sweethearts), my mom told him that "after that last concussion, she was never quite right." Lol. Thanks Mom! He stuck with me despite my mushy brain!

Well head trauma is head trauma.. Who knows what lasting effects there are but if u don't feel any bad things about it then I would say u r clear of that but who knows... And I bet your husband is glad he stayed with u even tho u had the concussions... Lol ..but otherwise only u know how u feel...if I didn't feel anxious about thinking about it .. I would say no but if u still have lasting effects from it I'd say have it checked out..I've been home all day baking and ironing.. It's still nasty outside so no yard work so I'm in the house until tomorrow... It's been a ok day .. Had my therapy session on the phone today because of the weather and such....Has your day been a pretty good one?? Hope so... Talk Soon.. Just stay the course.. 🤗💞😇

Lol. My poor husband. He's been my rock! Thank God he's a doctor and understands these things. Baking??? You're ambitious! I'm always envious of people who like to bake, I'm not one of them. I don't even like to cook. Is rather be outside digging in the dirt, building something, fixing something.

But I've had several MRIs, and about 3 years ago, one for when my migraines changed. Lots of brain cancer in my dad's side.

Last night had a discussion with my sister about anxiety, etc. She asked how I was feeling, what kinda of things I was doing to feel better. Then she said I wasn't trying hard enough to get better. My heart sank. Not feeling anxious about the confrontation, surprisingly, so I know the medicine is working!!!! But in the flip side, hurt. Hurry that my best friend, my sister!! said this to me. I told her she owes me an apology and it didn't come. So I said good bye. I'll talk to you later.

If my own sister can't have empathy or offer any kind of positivity, I wonder how many people think the same. Actually, now that I say that, I don't care what anyone thinks. I know I'm doing everything right and everything I can to get better. There's no benefit to holding on to anxiety. Anyway, she'll eventually call me. Just something else to deal with.

Well, I'm all showered and ready to go work at the church fish fry where I'll come and need 4 more showers!!! Lois, Nickie, Christine, have a PEACEFUL weekend. I hope and pray that you all have a beautiful weekend! XO

Sorry to hear that your sister wasn't supportive! Wow, how could she have said that?!

Anyway, I'm happy that you know in yourself that you are indeed doing all that you can, and that's all u can do!

It really doesn't matter what folks think

Keep moving on honey

Have a great weekend ladies

To All You Sweet And Supportive Ladies.. Tammy.. Lois Ann.. Christine... I have a question and I'm really kind of embarrassed to even ask but it effects me so much... It's a phobia..I know that at age 63 I'm not afraid of Drs..And this has come on within the last 5 years.. When my GAD gets bad.. But has stayed with me even sense I have been on Lexapro.. Like this am I had a eye Dr. Appt. I wake up and I've got these butterflies then as I get up and start getting dressed my heart starts pumping faster .. I just don't get it.. I like people and Love to b with them .. It's just the anticipation of going .. And I have this issue with my blood pressure going up when I go see a Dr.. I know it's White Coat Sydrome..because at home it's normal on most occasions unless I'm having aniexty r panic like I was having b4 I started Lexapro..it's almost like when a person has a Speech in front of a lot of people.. That's how I get when I go to a Dr.. Any info on how to deal with it.. My therapist just tells me to tell myself that it's ok.. I'm just going to see the Dr.. But I think it's the thought of What If .. Do you ladies understand what I mean..I feel like a child and I know that inner little girl was and is afraid of Drs. But not the 63 yr. old lady that I am.. It makes me feel Crazy and Sad and I don't use this word ever but I will in my case because it is so upsetting to me... It makes me feel STUPID and again I never use that word in regards to anyone r anything.. But I'm just referring to how it makes me feel because no other word I can think of fits how I feel toward myself as when I get that upset just going to a dr..anyway I didn't go .. I rescheduled my appt.. Please anyone that reads this Please give me some feed back.. This is a Big Phobia of mine and I need to know how to deal with it...A Big Thank You In Advance...Take Care and Talk Soon..🤗💞😇

Hi Nickie.. 

I understand what you mean.. but it’s your anxiety messing with you..  anxiety is What if’s...  In October I was at work and I suffered a severe vertigo attack.. it really changed my life.. from there I went to the ER twice in just that month and my PCP twice.. I then was sure I had a blood disease and spent the entire month of November googling and going to doctors.  December was just busy but then after the holidays my heart start racing after I would run.. went back to my cardiologist.. then went back again.. 6 weeks ago I was leaving work because I was short of breath and they took me to the ER and kept me overnight and thought I suffered a stroke.  It was terrifying.. then a week later I was a back in the ER was shortness of breath and they let me go and finally 2 weeks ago I was back with shortness of breath and they kept me again.. I have had every test done you could imagine and some of them multiple times.. the final straw for me was when I returned to my PCP and he told me it was enough medical testing that it was time I pursued a pyschiological reason..  I left in tears..  I just wanted so bad to have a reason for all my symptoms.. my shortness of breath, my foggy head, my body aches, and could not accept it was anxiety... I had panic attacks sometimes 5 a day and stopped eating and taking care of my kids.. I was hopeless..  I am now on day 21 of Lexapro and still at times feel scared and nobody understands..  

My point to all of this is I too was scared going to the doctors.. 

I'm really sorry you have had such a tough time!

That really sucks

If after 8-12 weeks you're not in a good place, talk to your doc about upping the dose of lexapro

10mg is at the low therapeutic end...u can go up to 20mg

Also therapy is great

L

This Aniexty really messes with our minds doesn't it... I just don't understand some times ... I say why us then I think why not us... This is a Cake Walk compared to the cancer my Dad went thru and the horrible kidney diease my older brother died from so I guess I need to pull up my big girl Panies and fight on.. Thank You Christine..I just needed what you said...it just makes me feel soooo childish to think like that and for it to have such a hold on me and my body...praying you'll you ladies have a Pleasant weekend...🤗💞😇

Christine...Soo Veryy Sorry .. It's a nightmare..Try and have a Great Weekend..🤗💞😇

Anxiety doesn't discriminate...

About 40 million Americans have anxiety

I used to say, I'd rather have physical ailments than a mood disorder but I take that back thinking about my cancer patients who die in front of me....thinking about a 37 yo female who died from cardiac arrest 2 days ago in my ER

Anxierty is real, it's scary, even disabling at times but it won't kill us

I stopped seeing it as a scary monster, accepted it and reached out for help and treatment

We will be ok, we'll get through this with God's help😊

Hi Tammy,

i was put on Effexsor in October after 50 mgs of zoloft stopped working after 23 years. The Effexsor never really helped, after 4 months, so I finally went to see a psychiatrist here in Houston  He has weened me down to 75XL Effexor the starting dose, and is switching me to Lexapro. I am taking both now. I was on Lexapro 5mg for 10 days and now I have been on 10mg for 4 days. Anxiety is the worst in am and gets better in the afternoon and evening. I will go down to 37.5 Effexsor in a week. How long does it take the Lexapro to finally kick in. I have been visiting a friend in Houston for a month and will go back home to Vermont on Thursday, and hope to find a good psychiatrist to help me ween off the Effexsor. I hope the lexapro works early signs are good

Hi Lynn

I too took effexor for 5 weeks in November/December, found it increased my anxiety for first 4 weeks, was worse in am, better in evening

Effexor is an SNRI...in addition to inhibiting uptake of serotonin, it inhibits uptake of norepinephrine which is a hormone involved in the flight or right response, a stress hormone basically. So that's why the anxiety gets worse initially

I'm on lexapro for about 9 weeks now for anxiety, possible pmdd, and it's been great

Hardly any anxiety now, sleeping well and no lasting side effects. On 10mg btw

Hang in there, it does get better

L

Thank you. How long did it take you to ween off Effexsor? Were you on 75 too.

 

Was on 37.5 twice a day...

My pdoc started me on lexapro 5 weeks into effexor. Didn't wean, stopped meds and started lexapro immediately

I hear horror stories about stopping effexor cold turkey but if u go from effexor immediately to another meds like a ssri, then you shouldn't get the brain zaps because you're continuing to get that constant serotonin inhibition without any break in between

I suffered no withdrawal symptoms

Acutually felt great stopping effexor and starting lexapro

L

But everyone is different

L

Hi. It took Me 2 months to wean off of the Effexor Xr 75 mg. I was on it for well over 12 years and felt great until my generic went generic again. So basically the exact opposite has happened for me between the two medications in that the Lexapro cause me tremendous amount of anxiety and wasn't going away after 10 weeks that's why I'm back on Effexor XR name brand. It's been a complete month of me being back on it and I feel like my old self. Hopefully Lexapro will work for you but like I told somebody else on another site to check to make sure your Effexor wasn't substituted if you were taking a generic already. That's what made my anxiety come on because the second generic was not doing its job. Good luck to you, you're going to be okay. This is a great place for support!!!

I was always on the generic venlafaxine XL for almost 5 months it helped about 50% ,when  I went up to 112.5 but my blood pressure went up and still anxious. Went down to 75XL and started 5 mg Lexapro along with it. Went up to 10 mg Lexapro 5 days ago, and will go down to 37xl Venlafaxine. Hope I don’t get the brain zaps

Going down to 37.5 XL tomorrow which I will take along with the  10mgs of Lexapro I’ve been on for 5 days.  Can’t wait to be done with Venlafaxine XL. Did it take a couple of weeks for the bad Anxiety  to ease on Lexapro. I have Klonopin if it gets bad mornings are bad

I felt meds working first 2 weeks and have gradually gotten better

Completely back to myself now

Give it time......😊

L

Yea effexor is known to cause bp elevation, a common side effect on higher doses

Another reason I didn't like it

Doubt you'll get the brain zaps

L

It’s been a week today on Effexsor 10mg. Did it take a few weeks for the morning anxiety to ease?

Lynn.. This is Nickie .. I'm not much help with your meds. But just hang in there for a few more days to see if it kicks in ..and Lois Ann will respond it may b a few hours but she will.. You may want to phone your Dr. If it doesn't ease up..just know that you are at a wonderful blog site for answers... We all know from experience.. Just hang in there and know we r all praying for each other.. 🤗💞😇

I mis-spoke it’s only a week on Lexapro 10mg. I have been weening down the Effexsor been on 75 for 3weeks. I see the psychiatrist today hope I can ween down to 37.5. Effexsor and stay on the 10mg of Lexapro. I’ve been in Texas for a month visiting a friend going back to Vermont tomorrow if the nor’easter isn’t to bad and flights are cancelled.

Lynn.. I to live in Texas.. And yes they r getting it bad up there..hope u make it home on schudule.. Maybe your Dr. Will decrease your meds.. I've never taken Effexor .. I'm on 10 mg. of Lexapro and this is my 3rd week of 10 mg. and doing well.. Just hang in there with the Lexapro it does work and works well.. After u get the full effect of it.. Which is different for everyone.. Keep us updated.. Lois Ann will post u when she sees your post.. 🤗💞😇

My experience was that as soon as I stopped effexor, anxiety instantly improved

I immediately started the lexapro as well

L

Did you have horrible anxiety in the morning the first couple of weeks. One of my daughter’s died four years ago and her death has been hitting me hard again. 

Lynn.. This is Nickie.. Yes I did have Morning Aniexty.. But that is just part of the process of the meds. Doing its job.. It will become easier.. I know that it's hard loosing a love one .. But we can not change their passing and it just makes us more stressful to think about it because we can not change it.. We must just except it.. The Serinity Prayer is Great .. God Grant Me a The Strength To Except The Things I CanNot Change and Wisdom To Know The Differents.. Death of a Lved one is to Heavy to carry for we can not change it and they would not want us to bare the burden of it.. Give that load to God..Its to Heavy for you to carry...Will b here for you.. Just hang in there .. It will get better .. I Promise.. 🤗💞😇

Lynn... I 4got to add and change the things I can and wisdom to know the Differents.. I'm sorry .. I'm on Lexapro and sometimes I 4get to finish my sentences.. That's a good enough reason.. Lol😀 

Made it back home from Houston to Vermont. Today was 1 week on 10 Lexapro and today dropped Effexsor down to 37. Trying to keep optimistic it will help. Thanks for your help everyone here

1 day at a time....

You're in the early course of lexapro, give it time

L

Lynn..This is Nickie..Time is what u need.. Been where u r as has most on this blog... U will b fine just hang in there .. Give yourself time for meds. To do their thing.. Lexapro is a Good Med...Take Care and Keep on posting.. This is week 3 on 10 mg. and doing well...🤗💞😇

Hello Lois Ann.. Hope u r doing Great.. One day at a time.. I'm doing well... Hope to do better as days go by...🤗💞😇

Omg awesome!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear, yayyyyyyyyyy

I'm doing well too....luteal phase of menstruation and no anxiety/low mood

L

Yay!!!!!! Excellent news. Everyone send to be doing so much better these days! This really makes me happy! 😀😀😀

Me too!!!!

L

Second day on reduced venlafaxineXL. 37.5 and boy today experiencing withdrawal from 75XL,  lots of headachy and brain fog and real tired. At least I knew it could happen but glad I am cross tapering with 10 Lexapro. My anxiety does feel much better though, didn’t need a .25 Klonopin today. I will stay on the 37.5 XL for a while before the next reduction off. When I will just be on Lexapro.  Came home to 2 feet of snow. I wish the venlafaxine worked for me.

I hear you hun but I think you'll do well on lexapro

L

Tammy did you go down to37.5 Effexsor from 75. without any withdrawal symptoms. I got the worst anxiety in my life I must be very sensitive to getting off.

Hi Lynn. It took me 2 months to wean off. I started at 75 mg and skipped every other day then every 2 days then every 3 days. Every now and then I would have to take a dose in between the every three-day cycle. Then I got down to half a dose every other day, etc.

If you have chronic anxiety, you probably will feel anxiety. I had Ativan to help me through the transition to Lexapro but I didn't need it. However, the Lexapro didn't help after 3 weeks on 10 then 7 weeks on 20. My anxiety got worse and worse. I used the Ativan more in Lexapro than I ever did on Effexor. So I'm back on Effexor XR 75 and feel great!

No side effects for me either .

You might need to slow your weaning down schedule to allow your brain to adjust. Sometimes too fast will throw you into anxiety.

Let me know how you're doing!!! God bless you!!

Did you get waves of sadness and just wanting to cry the first few weeks of treatment 

?

Lynn... Yes I did have times of being Sad and Weepy... I'm in week 6 and I still do but that's me... I suppose it's part of the meds. Working.. If you get really concerned contact your Dr. But I'm really feel like it's the Lexapro.. Take Care and continue to post if you need to...🤗💞😇

Oh my yes!!!! I don't remember which week I was in, but I'd take 3 or 4 showers a day and just cry in there. Everything was just swirling in my head and I needed to relax and cry an at the same time. It passed. But like I told everyone before, I was having a very bad reaction to Lexapro.... My anxiety continued to get worse even after 10 weeks, so I went back to my original anti depressant, Effexor XR. And feeling like my normal self once again. (Had to go off of it because my generic that went generic stopped working, I'm now on brand name Effexor XR). It is the right drug for me.

Hang in there honey. This is not an easy road for any of us. And we all know exactly what you're going through.... Regardless of what medicines we take.

And just remember, you're never traveling alone. GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!!!! ALWAYS!

Hope you are better again. It’s 3 weeks today.  I have had two afternoons and evenings anxiety and depression free. Every morning the anxiety is back, but I hope it’s a good sign. I saw the psychiatrist yesterday and I’m reducing the Effexsor on Sunday to 37. She gave me a prescription for Klonopin if I need it. She said it could take 6 to 8 weeks to see real improvement so I guess i’ve Got a while to go. Thanks for your support

Did anybody get a side effect of an upset stomach on Lexapro my first time experiencing this, had headaches come and go the first couple of weeks, can I take some pepto Bismol

Though I personally did not experience GI issues, they are among the most frequent complaints when starting lexapro. These side effects should resolve and yes, peptobismol is fine. Talk to your doc if symptoms persist

L

Was the morning anxiety the last to go?

Lynn.. Sorry for the delay.. I'm having a few issues but hope they will tapper off in the next few days.. I'm bumping up to 15 mg. of Lexapro today.. Yes I had just a little nausea but it went away quick..just the process of getting better..Sounds like your Dr. Has a Great plan for you .. Stick with it..I'm hoping I have no side effects from bumping up to 15 mg. but if I do it will tapper off after a few days ..Lois Ann and Tammy how r u both doing..? I'm trying to find the right amount to stop this break through aniexty from happening.. It happens when I'm under stress...it may just b me...idk but I can always bump back down to 10 mg. if I see that 15 mg. it not right and is too much...Take Care..🤗💞😇

I just posted a message but it's being moderated.. Idk

Lynn.. I have wrote a post but it's being moderated for some strange reason.. But yes it seems like for a few of us women the morning aniexty is the last to go .. Just hang in there it seems like your Dr. Has a good plan for you.. It just takes trial and sometimes a few errors.. But nothing that can not b changed to work for you..I'm bumping up to 15mg today .. Hoping it helps with the break through aniexty..if not I'll cut back down to 10 mg. and contact my Dr. I just don't want to over medicate because I'm sensitive to meds. As it is... So I'll just see what happens.. Praying it's a good thing... Take Care and keep on posting.. Sorry for the delay in answering.. 🤗💞😇
