Here is my fuse without Lexapro ____
Here is my fuse with Lexapro _____________________________________________
I think I need my Lexapro back!
Around last July or so after about a year of struggling to cope with working mother's guilt, general anxiety over every issue big or small, a very short fuse and overwhelming feelings of being overwhelmed...ALL OF THE TIME I talked finally convenced myself to talk to my doctor and was put on Lexapro. Asking for help to cope was VERY hard for me but I was so glad I did back then. I helped so much back then and I only had to take it for 3 months and have been off of it since October. I have told several people how weird it was....it was like I got to where it was really hard to function before I started taking it and when I didn't need it anymore my body knew because I couldn't really function with the medication.
I think I may need it again because my fuse is so short lately, I am having a hard time staying focused and I have bouts of being very anxious.
I don't know what to do...I am going to think it over for a while.
You know where I stand on this, however everyone's views are not as loose as mine :) Do what is best for you and in the end it will be best for everyone one around you!
ReplyDeleteI concur with Jess on this one. Only you and your doctor can decide. Do what you have to do and if it makes you a happier mom, who is it hurting?
ReplyDeleteI would definitely not hesitate to talk to the doctor if you think getting back on Lexipro would help, especially because you know that you most likely just need it for a short period of time. Do what works. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else....you have to do what works for you. If taking medication helps, then by all means - take it. I had a really hard time coming to terms with taking all of the medication that I do. After hurting myself (and everyone around me), I learned that I do have to have it to make it, so I take it. Talk to your Doctor...he will help you make the right decision.
