My husband and I, both professionals and both well older than you, both love them and would probably watch them even if we didn't have a kid to justify it. :) We like the Fairly Oddparents too.

Hey everyone how is everyone doing??..it is pretty quiet in here!!!!...I hope everyone is ok and doing good...I"m doing ok had another therapy appt today first one in 3 weeks and it was rough really really rough..was just sitting here not knowing what to do ...it seems that it is harder on the lex to really get into the emotions because you are less likely to get upset and cry but you really need to...so it is pinned in there..but working on it..do you know what I mean??..well i'm not sure just sitting here so thought i would post...The lex really seems to be working well at this point I hate to say it as to jinx myself but to help other people realize that it isnt the quick fix they let you believe that it is ...sometimes for some of us it takes longer for it to equal out just wanted to let you know..although everyone in here is pretty set on their meds...
Well i'm talking in circles..so I'm off hubby is working late and just thought i would post...how is everyone...Trucker..lexy...mrs c...jlynne...mags...susilala..lynda..bridetobe where is she ..she hasnt given us details yet..why we have to get on her to do that...how is simus...K..we havent heard from her in forever...anakin we hear from you..hahhah I still think of your experience and cringe I couldnt deal with that!!!..I'm so grateful that you are ok!!!!...hope I didnt forget anyone..luvya all talk to you soon...your friend Mystic

Mystic,
I exactly what you mean. I had to get used to "emotions" again after going off Lexapro. I had forgotten what it was like to cry just watching a romantic movie... I feel so bad that this therapy takes so much out of you. I am just praying that it helps in the long run.

Hey Ya'll
I went to the Dr. today and he said that instead of lexapro for hormones, I should be taking prozac. I am going to start on 20mg tomorrow and get off the lexapro totally ( I am taking 5mg every other day). I called my p-doc to see what she thought and she said to give it a shot. She also said that it would be better on the weight gain and would actually help me lose weight... I need some help and support, anyone been on it I would love to hear. Thanks!!!

I use prozac but I'm not sure what your issues are; I don't have a weight problem (yet), I'm supposed to be on 60 mg but I'm trying to get down to 20. I've been losing a lot of hair (unfortunately not the kind that grow on the chin). I just can't stand the disturbing dreams anymore. I think if I can get down to 20 I'll be okay. 'zac has helped me have some kind of a life though. An imitation of one anyway.

Susan!
Hi to tell you the truth, I am really not sure at all what prozac has to do with hormones. My endocrinologist/Obgyn said that it would be better than lexapro for my PMS problems. So I am going to give it a try. We shall see...

Hey again Susan,
My problems are depression mostly around my period and anxiety. I have never had a weight problem but am gaining weight like crazy on lexapro...I think I up to like 7 or 8 lbs, I feel gross I cannot fit into my size 2 and 4s anymore, it sucks. So prozac has helped you some??

Mm, I used to feel like I wanted to commit criminal acts around the time of my periods; now I just feel extremely discouraged. I suppose that's progress of a sort. Personally I think prozac has had a big hand in helping me cope with life in general, but the particulars suck sometimes. For instance, I get anxiety attacks now, which I never used to have. Honestly though I don't know whether that's a byproduct of 'zac, therapy, or splitting from my parents (emotionally) and husband (physically). It's a toss-up I guess. Medications like Prozac I think are probably okay in smaller doses, like 20 mg, but at 60 I know it was too much for my body. I have been eating a lot more lately and gaining weight, but I can definitely say that it's not because of the prozac. If anything, 'zac keeps my appetite and my weight low.

Susan,
What dosage did u start on? I am going to start on 20 and stay at 20, is that too much to start, do you think I should try to cut my pills and start out at 10mg?
Thanks, lexy

I was at twenty for a few months, then forty, then sixty. Now I play around with the amount, trying to get it at the right living level. Don't recommend doing that by the way, the only reason I do is my psych told me it was okay to try that.
