I woke up again with side effects at 4am and had to take .25 Ativan to get back to sleep. The morning has been pretty good in terms of depression. I'm so afraid that the Lexapro is helping, but that the side effects won't go away and I will have to start with a new med.
Yesterday, I went to my sons basketball game, and was able to sit through the entire thing without fidgeting. I also have not increased my total daily Ativan, if I take more at night, I take less during the day. I also noticed that driving home at night after swimming, I wasn't scared. It's like I'm getting better and worse at the same time, if that makes any sense. I just don't understand why the side effects didn't hit me until the 10th day after the dosage increase. I mean, I noticed an increase in anxiety in the first ten days, but it wasn't until my period started, that every single symptom came back, and I mean every single one:
Headache
Fogginess
Dizziness
Trouble sleeping
No appetite
Nausea
Diahrrhea
Floaties in eyes
Ear pressure
Head pressure
Anorgasmia
Leg restlessness
Heart Palpitations
Hand and feet sweating
Crying (only first two days of my period)
But I've been off for a few days, so why are they not getting better. SO FRUSTRATED!!!
