What This Anxiety Blog Is About

As a side note I want to reinstate what this blog is all about. I want to make clear that this blog is not about any specific medication or even endorsement of any kind of medication therapy whatsoever. After rereading a few of my posts so far it seems like this blog is all about Lexapro which is not correct at all. This blog is about my experiences trying medication to improve my anxiety and stress levels on daily basis hopefully to reach a more normal life experience. This blog is also about my daily struggles with anxiety and stress hopefully to enlighten other people about the subject. It has nothing to do about suggesting to people to go out there and use any type of medication whatsoever.

Like I said before this is merely my experience dealing with my particular anxiety/stress and slight depression mental disorders. It is also about helping other people who are going through this as well, just like me. You can never have enough websites, blogs or general online information available to people who are suffering in order to let them know they’re not alone. There is nothing worse than the feeling of being alone in this world without any help of any kind.

Another goal of mine is hopefully maybe one day somebody will read this blog and then have a parent/uncle or friend and have them read this so they can understand what you were going through. If this blog can help anybody who is going through problems of their own or know someone who is and is help in any shape or manner then this blog has accomplished its main goal. Also keep in mind I’m not a professional writer or anything like that. I do my best to write as eloquently and correctly as I conceivably can and to state the facts as accurately as possible.

Lexapro Signs And Side Effects Update

It’s been about little less than three weeks now I’ve been on the Lexapro and it’s time for an update on the side effects I have been experiencing. Like I said on my first post about side effects things were supposed to get better over time and things seem to be getting better for me. Now just to be clearer when I say things are getting better I mean in terms of the side effects I was feeling from taking Lexapro every day. In terms of any true feelings of less anxiety or stress levels I would have to say nothing major has changed yet for me.

However just like my doctor said and from all the literature I’ve read this is completely normal and everyone’s different with the way they will react to this type of medication. Everyone reacts different to this type of medication and this is a very important statement. That’s why I believe many people just don’t give enough time and quit before the medicine has had its proper time to kick in. To be quite honest the side effects so far been pretty bothersome and I can understand why lots of people just want to quit taking it right away. However at this point I will continue taking the medication, the side effects seem to be slowly lessening in terms of quantity and strength.

The sudden electrical shock type feelings/sensations are happening less often than when I first started taking the medication. Additionally the sensations are also less dramatic or you can say they have less of a sudden impact on you. It’s actually quite hard to explain in the proper words unless you felt them yourself and know what I’m talking about. Basically these weird electrical type sensations are occurring with less potency/strength. Also at this point the uncontrollable twitching I had especially in my feet is considerably less as well. So as a quick summation the Lexapro side effects are definitely less than when I first started taking the medication and definitely seem to be getting better as time goes by. Hopefully in another week or two the positive effects of Lexapro should start kicking in as the side effects start to fade out, at least according to the literature.
