Started Lexapro Today.

[duckandcover]

Well after 5 months clean and a continuous cycle of bad anxiety for about one week out of every month I finally went with my doctors advice and started Lexapro today.  I really feel like if I can break the cycle for a couple of months that I can put these god awful PAWS cycles behind me.  I know I've had discussions on the side with a lot of folks on here (some who are on it and some who are thinking about it like I was) and for those of you who want to know more I'll be keeping a journal on it (probably out of my tracker).   The weird part is that I'm just coming out of a down cycle now so I would be probably OK anyway for at least 2 or 3 weeks anyway till the next one hits.  I swear it seems to follow the cycles of the moon.

Anyway, if things are going well for the next week or so  I might be a little light on the posting but I'll jump back in around the time that it "should" be coming back and I'll post about any side effects I might be feeling along the way.

I feel pretty good about the decision generally but I still hate the idea of "needing" a pill to feel "normal".  Even if it is just  temporary (hopefully).

Left you a personal note.

Each one can have side effects, but I have heard good things about Lexapro. I use Zoloft and it has helped.
