hey guys, not feeling too good today, i seem to wake up with a headache and a stiff neck almost everyday now..:S and today is the first day since the increase where i am feeling the anxiety pretty intensly. sucks. i hope everyone else's day is better than mine! Mystic i bet its exciting waiting for the baby to arrive, is this your first grandchild? must be a new feeling.
Life can be such a gift yet sometimes such a curse..maybe somewhere in there i can find balance, thats all i think we all really want.
i tried getting in to the Ballble open but it wasnt allowing me to complete the regestration..weird i would be almost done then the screen wouldnt load then it would say, sorry we could not complete...i'll try again later cause it does sound like fun. i am usually up at insane times cause of insomnia so it would be nice to NOT spend that time alone.
Have a great evening everyone and HAPPY EASTER!!!

DEPRESSION SUCKS.. I HAVE NO ONE BUT THIS BOARD FOR SUPPORT. OUR FAMILY IS DISFUNCIONAL. I HAD A LONG PERIOD AFTER THE DEAD BABY THAT I ONLY REMEMBER GREIVING. ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING OTHER THAN NOT WANTING TO GET OUT OF BED. AND THERE COMES THE WEIGHT. GO FROM ACTIVE TO WISH YOU WERE DEAD AND THINGS GROW FAST. 135LBS. AND STILL STRUGGLING WITH NO DESIRE TO TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF. I'D LIKE TOO BUT DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH.

> I actually hesitated to write how much I have gained because I didn't want to discourage anyone. I have always gained weight very easily. When you combine that with a few drugs known to make you gain weight taken over several years, along with the fact that I was either so numb or so depressed that I really didn't care to exercise, it isn't a good combination. So that is just me...don't expect that for yourself!

Hello to all, I am hoping this time I can actually post...This is a cool place but really hard to get the first time...
I just started taking Lexapro three days ago so I am interested in what everyone has to say! I am getting married in 2 months almost to the day, so I hope this stuff kicks IN!

I wanted to try again to make sure I really can post...It took me like 30 minutes to figure it out...I also read around a bit and see the other smoker on here is bride2be? I think...did you start smoking more when you started Lex? I swear I have smoked two packs today...I enjoyed reading the posts, The ones about the mall are oh too familiar. I am ready to stop suffering and start being normal. I have a stttttrrrreessssful job, teaching sixthgraders that wont be quiet, ever, math, and with this wedding coming up, I hope I dont gain a crapload of weight over the next two months...I have lost 25 since stopping paxi, but i GAINED 50 on it!!!!!!I was all svelte and hot at 145, and then before I knew it I was 195, in like 5 months!!I am a plump 170 right now and would like to lose a bit more before the wedding, is this possible or am I dreaming? Will this still endear me to chubby-dome, or have most of you found it hasnt caused a lot of weight?

Welcome, and Happy Easter! You are at the right place for support.
A med change two months before your wedding? I wish you a fast and smooth transition!
I don't think that Lexapro is as notorious for weight gain as Paxil. It seems that most people can maintain their weight fairly well on Lexapro. Anyway, between your med change, your job, and your upcoming wedding, I would say you have enough stress without trying to go on a major diet on top of it all. Maybe just exercise right now would help you to firm up, reduce stress, and feel better overall.
God bless.

Welcome and glad you found us...WE are a great great group ...you couldnt find more support than in here and we are here to help you...So come often and stay late hahhah...Why did you go on meds??>>>I was on paxil for over 5 years on 20 or maybe 30 for 3 years and stayed at what my dr always said was a placebo 10mgs for 2 years...I did gain 50lbs also..Not sure if it was because I ate more and was less depressed or just that is was the meds (so dont get nervous Mags doesnt happen to everyone)...The paxil worked great for me but had just needed something different...and at 10mgs it wasnt doing much but I did lose weight..
A wedding that is going to be great june?..We will all be here for you and try to get you through when you need us and listen to the exciting details when you have them...SO keep posting and Have a great Easter...Mystic

Thank you all for being so welcoming!! I went on paxil about two years ago for panic attacks, then thinking I was cured, I guess that really never happens totally, I went off of them for a year, and then starting around my bachelorette party,in March, I started getting them again. It was a shame, because I had girls come here from all over the place, some traveling 14 hours to be with me! They spoiled me and bought me a great weber grill and I was surrounded by so much goodness, I was surprised I started having them again. It seems like I am more likely to have one the safer I am...weird...I eventually ended up having a good time anyways..but I went to the doc about a week later and decided I should go back on, then as soon as I got home from the doc I had this radiating paqin in my jaw...I thought heart attack!!Then I thought, I am making this up, then it hurt so bad I KNEW I wasnt making it up...so I waited and went to the ER two days later, and they gave me some antibiotics and pain meds, so I was afraid to start the lex because of all these other drugs...turns out I went to an endodontist and yes, I had a 400$ root canal soon to be followed here by a 500$ crown..LOVELY. I have calmed down, realized I DONT have a brain tumor, I don't have MS, I don't have cervical cancer, and it was just a root canal..So I started on the LEX and am ready to go!! I can't wait to tell you guys all about my wedding plans, if you would like to hear!!! The coolest parts so far..MY DRESS...killer. It has colored embroidary-pink, green, yellow, blue, and purple flowers, the girls are wearing one of each color in the dress, and the favors are going to be chapsticks:) There is so much more to tell, but I will spare you all for now:) Have a great remainder of the weekend!
