Stomach bloating... not sleeping well.

[cnote]

So I've been having a little anxiety... it lasted for about 6 days. I wasnt in FULL anxiety mode... but had some symptoms... my stomach was nervous, and I couldnt get an appetite. Had to force myself to eat. I also couldnt sleep very well.

It's been about a day or 2, and I'm feeling MUCH better. No anxiety really... a little bit of a nervous stomach still... don't know why. And I still can't seem to get a RESTFUL sleep at night.

It takes me FOREVER to fall asleep! I just can't seem to get TIRED! I have ativan, which I can take if I wanted to help my nerves at night and help me relax so I can get a good nights rest... but I HATE taking it unless im desperate!

I just don't pop pills b/c I can't sleep.

I will however say, I know I'm sleeping some throughout the night, b/c I remember dreams! So I've got to be sleeping some!

Also, I've been EXTREMELY hungry the past day or so... seems like once I eat a meal, an hour later I'm hungry again! Which is nice to get my appetite back, but also ***** at night when I'm tired! So I just drink a glass of milk to fill my belly up at night.

Also, lastnight my stomach got REALLY bloaty feeling... it was actually bloaty all day, but it was REALLY bloated when I went to bed.

My question is... I stopped taking Lexapro (2.5mg) about 2 weeks ago or more. I didnt quit cold turkey, but I didnt take forever to ween either b/c its only 2.5mg... its so small...

My question is, Is it possible for me to be having some little withdrawal symptoms from the lexapro that late after quitting? B/c last year I quit cold turkey almost and had stomach bloatedness BAD!

And do you think my nervous stomach could be from not taking the lexapro? and not getting tired at night?

I may go back on the lexapro if this doesnt stop soon... b/c I know it helped me in the past, but I just hate staying on something over 5-6 months at a time.

Thanks guys!
