Feeling MUCH better now!

So a couple weeks ago, I posted here and shared that I had forgotten my Lexapro over a 9-day vacation and reverted back to constant anxiety and strange thoughts. Last week Monday I started to feel a lot better. Not perfect -- still took a Xanax that day -- but there were longer periods of normal feelings. Fast forward to now, and I'm feeling great! It's not 100%. I haven't taken Xanax in almost a week, but I still have some strange thoughts that I had when I had anxiety. The difference is I can handle them a lot easier now.

Phew, it feels great to be back to normal. It feels like it will take forever when you are in the middle of a period of anxiety before you get better, but to those of you (lurkers or board members) in that period who recently started Lexapro or something similar, stick with it. And remember, lots of people have gone through the same thing, and many are right here on the board! It makes for great support as you go through a difficult time.

      Awsome post!!! 

Thank you for the update...so glad you are feeling better!!

....and thanks for the encouragement and the reminder for those that may be stuggling with just what you were going through!  It helps others more than you can know, I am sure.:)

Keep up the good work....and posting!

S.C.

Thank-you for the update. Very good news. Too many people get better (& all of us always do eventually), & they don't report back so your update is very much appreciated.

Same goes for drug reviews (that many of us Google and see hysterical ppl stating how horrible this or that drug is. Rarely do people report success stories, I'm guilty)!

Best wishes for continued peace for you!
