haha no wedding bells for me, at least not anytime soon! the wedding was beautiful though. i have been on 20 for about 2 months and have been feeling pretty dizzy and spacey...i just think it's too much, so i'm going to try 15.

Hi everyone...I am still very new to this site so sorry for not writing. I am still doing great on the Lexapro - I have been taken it for 7 weeks now, this is the only medication I have ever taken for my anxiety/panic disorder besides xanax. I only had to take 4 xanax while on the lexapro and that is great considering I had to take one everyday. I hope everyone is feeling good with the summer approaching, although I am struggling with the 15-20 pounds of extra baby weight which is a bad excuse now cause my baby is almost 3.
I am trying to face the facts that I will never have a decent swimsuit body again, but all these TV shows don't help. It seems everyone is having some type of surgery done to make themselves like a barbie doll and it kinda makes it hard for the average body type woman to keep up. I really was considering some type of surgery like breast augmentation and some lipo but of course my anxiety makes me feel scared that I might die while being put under for any type of surgery. Does any one have any advise about any of these procedures.
Sorry I am just feeling a little down today about my body - I swear it's that show "the Swan" it always makes me depressed. I am not going to watch it anymore.
Well thanks for letting me vent! Talk to you soon
Be well,
Anxious babe

Wow! So glad to hear you have seen such great results with Lexapro! =)
> I am trying to face the facts that I will never have a decent swimsuit body again, but all these TV shows don't help.
You have to remember that the people you see on TV and in magazines are the most beautiful of the beautiful, and the thinnest of the thin. And most of them STILL have work done. And then they STILL have wardrobers and makeup artists and airbrushing to hide their flaws. So what you are seeing is not reality. Hollywood has done a LOT of damage to women in our society by making them think that this unobtainable ideal is the "norm" and so they can never measure up. Turn the TV off and just put on a swimsuit and go to the beach. I guarantee you will see reality there, and after you look around for a while, you won't feel so bad about yourself. And have fun there - build a sandcastle, go swimming, soak up the sun... Life is too short, and you don't get a second chance at it. So enjoy it now, with or without the extra 15 lbs.
God bless.

dont worry, im sure most of us have felt that way at some point. i know i have! lex is not supposed to cause weight gain, so that's good. try walking with the baby, weights or something at home, and LOTS of water! good luck...em

I have some advice anxious babe..Love yourself just the way you are and be happy with yourself I know it is hard but those shows are absolutely rediculous and you wait after about 6 months or a year they will look weird because the fat deposits in different areas and your face starts to look funny and there are complications from the surgeries...Enjoy that sweet 3 year old you have and dont worry about the rest...We all want to lose some weight and it will happen but you have to do it the smart way by excersising and watching what you eat..I worry about weight also but I work out a lot and am not bad but I would give it all up just to feel better again...
I hope that isnt too harsh but holy moly they have tons of those shows on and it just makes you feel like there is something wrong with just being who you are it really infuriates me...Its tv and magazines and people...maybe I'm so hot about it is because my daughter had a terrible eating disorder and we are hopefully over it after the birth of her son..and I just think life it too short to worry about these things but there is so much out there that makes us...
Anyway...I havent met or seen you but from your posts Im sure you are a wonderful person and that is what counts...Take care..Mystic

Sorry to bring anyone down just not feeling my best I'm on the 4th day of the increase to 15mgs and almost ready to give it all up all together...not having fun yet!!!!...SO cant take that post back to anxious babe I got a little hot and I'm sorry but i just want everyone to feel good and not be thinking that they arent good enough...SO me off...Thanks for listening...Hopefully you stopped reading after the first couple of sentences...Luvya all I will be better soon..!>!>>!>!>>mystic

Hi everybody, I haven't posted in a few days. Now that my finals are over and the kids recitals are finished I can get back to "me"! Yeah! Sounds like all are doing well. Trucker, good to have you back and good luck on the weight loss. I know what a challege it can be. I love food! Anxious babe, I have just started losing my extra 25 pounds of baby weight and my baby is 8! You are way ahead of me. I have 10 more left to lose and I will be back to where I was. Let's all try to support Mystic right now, she is in a very bad place and needs all of our love. Thanks everybody, Mrs. C

Hey mystic...I don't think you are too harsh at all, I think we or I should say (me) all need a wake up call once in a while and you are absolutely right. I am not going to worry about that nonsense, but I think we all get caught up in something stupid like that once in a while. It's society and it's emphasis on weight and all that all crap they publicize.

Mystic,
I am having the same problems with remembering things. I am on 10mg. lex, 1 mg.klonopin & 15mg remeron. I don't know which one to blame it on but all I know it's getting to the danger stage. Like today I put a pan of water on the stove to heat & forgot about it. Crazy things like that have been happening.IT'S SCARY!!! If you figure it out let me know.

I once put a pan of sugar water on the stove to heat up for the humming birds. Forgot about it until I saw the smoke coming out of my windows!!! This was BEFORE I took any meds. We're all okay. It's the people who don't think anything is wrong with them that have the really scarey problems. Hope you feel better soon. Praying for us all tonight. Mrs. C

I am also having the same problem with remembering things and I am taking only 5mg of Lexapro and xanax. It drives me crazy...I myself have gone to the ATM and forgot my pin and it's the same pin I have been using for years. I go to the store specifically for something and forget what it is when I get there, the list goes on and on and it was really begining to scare me but now that I realize so many other people are experiencing the same thing I don't feel so scared.
