Ack! I'm off my meds and feeling loopy!

[motely36]

I ran out of my Lexapro on Saturday night, and was just able to get it refilled. I don't know if that is why I have felt lightheaded all day or if it is something else. I hope it kicks in again soon!

2. is lexapro any good?

i've tried effexor and celexa and they both do NOTHING for me... except effexor made me dizzy as hell all the time. celexa feels like a water pill.

3. Effexor

worked great for me. But if I missed my daily dose by more than an hour, OMG - I have never had a worse headache in my life.

6. Oh God

Don't I know this!

I have been on just about every anti-depressant on the market.
Effexor is the only one that has come close to helping me.
But the side-effects: nauseous, dizzy.

And let me tell you:

Hell hath no fury like this medicine when you miss it by
more than ten minutes.

Talk about scorn!

4. I have had good results with Lexapro

It's the only one I have tried.

5. Be careful, that stuff is evil. Go off of it slowly...

Its lingering side-effects are generally temporary, but when I read that that crap does to one's person, especially when it said on the info sheet that the side-effects are "generally reversible", I said 'forget it'.

If we're pro-life, then they need to test for nutritional or autoimmune factors and one's environment before making patients pop pills. I'm disgusted by how people need drugs, thinking that a drug will help them conform. While it might to some extent, the side-effects are NOT worth the benefits in most cases. We're a drugged up company. And Pfizer, et al, are that much happier for it.

[EstimatedProphet]

11. Found it-59th st bridge song

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Ack! I'm off my meds and feeling loopy!
Ba da da da da da da, feeling loopy

Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doo-it in doo doo, feeling loopy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling loopy

I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life I love you, all is loopy

12. Lexapro? why does that sound eerily familiar?

I use something called Concerta.

[motely36]

13. Never heard of Concerta

Lexapro is a new anti-depressant

[JohnKleeb]

14. oh, oh

thats why, sorry I dont have depression, I have Aspergers and ADD.

[motely36]

16. mmm.....asparagus

oh, sorry

[JohnKleeb]

17. hah its not that

Its what nearly got me not allowed in the political science program actually .

[motely36]

18. I'm just teasing

I hope I didn't offend you. What do you mean? they wouldn't let you in because of a medical condition? I don;t think their allowed to do that.

[JohnKleeb]

19. its a mental condition

Its why I seem so shy to some people and why my eye contact sucks ass. On edit, I dont think they can do that, god it really pissed me off, thank god no one wanted to take economics because I would have been stuck there, and it turns out, my political science teacher thinks I should have been an AP Government student too.
