I have been on Lexapro for about two weeks. I am soooo tired, and I cannot tell if it is working. What are some signs to look for ?
I go back to my doc next week, I seem to tolerate the med well though hardly any other side effects for some slight nausea and thats all. I just don't know what to look for to know if it is working or not. Zoloft made me into a zombie, boy was I sick from that one.
Please anyone with expierience out there?

I have asked two pharmacists and my doctor this question and they only tell me that there are no studies on this so they don't know one way or the other. I was wondering if anyone has combined these supplements with an SSRI.

..I'm always under this state of mind where I feel like I'm completely useless, and in truth I think I'm becoming useless. I walked out of a stupid job and now I get to live on £15 a week for food.. thats about $23.. so I don't have enough to eat. I've had several interviews and not a single phone call.. and I wonder if it's just how I present myself and my mood, which is always really low.. plus my energy levels are non-existant.. I know medication isn't a cure-all but it's better than going back to illegal drugs.. so what's been the best mental health medication in your opinion.. thanks in advance..

For example, if I pinch myself in a dream, to tell if it's real or not, it still hurts just as much as if I did it in real life!!! How can I stop this? It's really bad when I'm driving, cause I never know if I'm dreaming or not!!

Does anyone have experience on how to quit. Cut the doses in half, or skip every other day? What symptoms did you experience?

As far as calling people with differences of opinions to that of the government UnAmerican and/or UnPatriotic, wouldn't that imply a form of Totalitarian or Dictatorship? Also, what guidelines have been implemented (if any) to identify Patriots from Non Patriots?

You would think that after 13 years I would be past what you did to me. You would think that I might even be well adjusted to life in general, but 13 yrs after I fianally told someone what you were doing to me I am still full of questions. I have spent my adolescence trying to ingonre the sick feeling I get when a man touches me, while at the same time trying to get the approval of every man I meet. I don’t understand how a grown man could have lustful thoughts or feelings about a child…an innocent little girl! I had a therapist I was seeing immedeatly after I told. I saw her twice. During the second session she told me that what you did was my fault so I have put a lot of thought into that. The conclusion I came up with was that it takes a truly sick person to be aroused by a child.
I don’t know why I didn’t tell anyone everything you did. I think part of me was still a little girl who didn want to see her uncle glenny get into trouble. The other part of me was embarrassed to tel
