Green Room - Week 14 - Day 2

Good morning.

Or should I say "meow" for the benefit of our modern day resident Dr Doolittle?*G*

Either way, what's on your agenda for today?

Hang in there. It took me all of the whole six weeks that my doctor predicted, before I settled into the effects of my Lexapro. And I'm still a cheap drunk now; the amplification of alcohol is my biggest side-effect.

Hahahaha well, I don't drink (I hate feeling drugged), so I think I'm good. We're out of health insurance for the time being so I'm on some cheap Lexapro wannabe....bleah. Tell me it's worth it.

It will be, once you're past the "induction" stage. Most of the side effects lessen as your system gets used to the med. The docs usually say give it a month at the minimum -- some meds, however, take a good 1-2 months before you start seeing the good effects.

It's made a *huge* difference for me. Mind you, there were also some pretty large life-changes around the same time I started it, but I know the Lexapro has been a big part of the improvements.
