Ups and Downs are fun!

So after what has been a crazy week of horrible anxiety, depression, and scary racing thoughts...I am happy to say that yesterday and today until about 3 hours ago were pretty good. I have now been on Lexapro a total of 8 weeks but I have been on the most recent dose of 20 mg for 5 weeks now. So far I have had good weeks, bad weeks, bad days, good days, then some good days have there crap moments. So overall I don't know what to say about my experience this second time around with Lexapro.

My 24/7 dizziness drives me crazy. Its not the vertigo type but just lightheadedness and imbalance. Pretty much like Im walking on a boat. It sucks and is pretty persistent.

I dealt with this dizziness years ago so I dont know if I have physical dizziness causing my anxiety or anxiety is just causing my dizziness. Thankfully im seeing my ENT this week...just to rule something physical out.

Im currently taking 0.5 mg of Ativan 3x day as per my doctor who says what im going through is a mini crisis. He says I should stick with the Lex and I have talked to a few people on other forums about their experiences with Lexapro and most agree I should give the 20 mg 6-8 week. Some that were on it before said it took them a bit longer to see results the second time around or that their experience with side effects were different, worse, or more prolonged. So we'll see what happens.

I hate these ups and downs though. Happily I have been able to do some mindfullness this week.

I will keep you guys updated.

Glad you are having some relief the last couple of days...hopefully this is going to continue, and the ups are going to out number the downs really soon!

Keep working towards your goals...you are get to there!

With encouragement. :)
