Twiggy I meant the my hand and arms get stingy and tingly.

Today has been good had a few little moments but nothing major.

I had a good rip in my car which gave me a bit of a buzz. I dont have any issues with going out I can go to the shops into big shopping centres things like that.

Its only really the situations that I cant get out of I worry about get panic attack during these ie. hairdressers, dentist, meetings in work, i am worried about my wedding day not the fact i am getting married more i will have to stand at the top or the church infront of loads of people and i would be afraid i will panic tongue

On the therapy side yes I am seeing someone however the other night I rang her when i had a bad night on the seroxat and she never returned my call, I then rang the a few days later no answer but a message saying she wont be taking on any new clients and she wont be returning any calls till the 29th.

So i was out shopping with my partner today and I saw my therapist so I went over and said did she get my call the other night and she said she is not going to discuss it now and she told me her husband had a brain hemorrhage the other day well i felt terrible about hassling her.

Anyway it just puts things into perspective. I only hope he recovers from it.

So other than that feeling good today. :-)

Day 3 on Lexapro:

Had a good day no real noticeable side affects all day so quite happy.
Also I didnt feel anxious or panic all day.
Only issue I woke about 5 in the morning and it took a while for me to get back asleep.
But other than that everything is going well. As the days go on I am going to cut back on the xanax I am taking 2 .25mg a day at the moment. But i plan to only use it if needed.

Good good good! Glad to hear about your 3rd day on Lexapro. :)

Not good about the therapist who won't return your calls.. as my doc and her nurse NEVER return my calls. I usually have to have my mother call and tell them I'm mentally unstable to get any kind of call back. UGH.... it's frustrating.

But, now I can't pick up samples of my Lex anymore...and I have no health insurance.. so I have to pay for the darn meds myself ($100)... Ativan/Lorazepam ($30) blech...

this country is absolutely demented with the cost of medication...

and the cost of health insurance.

Oops.. sorry.. I didn't realize you meant your hands and arms get tingly.. I tend to just ramble

hehe

I also have the same fear about getting married.. having to stand up there... but just breathe deep and know that you're doing this because you love your partner madly!! :) *breathing techniques can help*

*HUGS*

Ya as Isaid in a previous post twiggy my therapist husband had a brain hemorrhage the other day thats why she hasnt returned my call. I feel so sorry for her I was abit annyoed at first I never got a reply cause when I was in the state I was in the other night I really needed to talk to her but when I found out why she couldnt ring me back I fully understud. It kind of put things in perspective to me.

Anyway I have been good all day to day my friend called this morning to go to the bookmakers to put some bets on the football and horses i was abit anxious at first as I was worried I would have a upset stomach from the meds and didnt want to be outside if it happened but everything was cool I even won 100 quid.
Then my other friend called to play his xbox360 so that was abit of fun.

Anyway I am ment to be back in work tomorrow so depending on if i have a good sleep or not i will decide in the morning if I can go in.

Day 4 5mg Lexapro:

Yesterday was fine no issues to 2 xanax .25mg 1 in the morning and the evening.

Felt no real side affects with it yesterday. I awoke at about 4 in the morning and it took a while to get back to sleep. I was meant to be back in work today for 3 12hr shifts but I am going to leave going back till next week just incase i dont feel well in work and so I am more used to the meds.

This morning I got up feeling ok had breakfast and took my Lexapro but i didnt bother taking a xanax I might take one tonight so that i get to sleep ok.

So I have 5 more days on the 5mg tablet and then I am onto the 10mg.

Things going well and I am feeling good. :-)

Day 6 Lexapro:

Woke up feeling fine today. Gave my partner a chance to stay in bed so i got up with our 7 month old baby girl. Again didnt take any xanax during the day.
My sister called so we all went to town to look in the shops.
I found myself feeling very hungry at 1 stage to the point where i felt sick and weak. So we stopped off for some food I did get a littleanxious and panicy while waiting for food but i guess that was down to feeling so hungry. I have been feeling abit off since but took a xanax to help me with getting a sleep.
Everything still going well for me. I have more days of the .5mg Lexapro and then I am onto the 10mg.
