Lexapro is a really strong medication. Research the side effects and maybe get a 2nd opinion 💗

I’m on this and have been for 3 years or so now. I like it and have no side effects that I’m aware of. I’m taking 20mg which is the max dosage too.

I didn’t have any side effects but I only took it for a bit and then switched to Zoloft. All medication has potential side effects so I would not let that scare me.

Been in it for 4 years. It really changed my life. It quieted all the noise in my head and I'm so much more relaxed. I was on Remeron for 4 months or so before the Lexapro and I had never been more manic.
I've had no side effects from Lexapro. I even took it while I was pregnant. My son is great and very healthy. If it doesn't work for you there are plenty of other medications that can work for you

Lexapro has been way better than Zoloft for me. Zoloft took away the bad feelings, but also made me numb to the good stuff. Lexapro just makes my anxiety so much easier to manage without feeling like it’s dulling me in any way. I also take hydroxozyne (sorry probs spelled wrong😅) Every body is different tho!

I absolutely loved Lexapro. But it only worked for so long for me and upping the dosage didnt do much. I didnt have any side effects while I was on it.

personally take Zoloft, but have had friends on Lexapro who swear by it.

This is hardddddd

I knew being a mum wouldn’t be easy but I naively didn’t expect it to be this hard 😩 my 5 month old needs constant entertainment, I can’t even step out of the room to grab a drink without her crying.

Just wondering if anyone else is finding this as difficult as I am? I can’t say I’m particularly enjoying it and that makes me feel awful ☹️ I love her to pieces but wow I’ve never worked so hard and still felt like I was failing 😩

Back again..

Back on the app..again... all conversations fade off.. when i reply to posts of women saying they're desperate for new friends.. i get no replies or they fade off after a polite msg or two. Am I the only one who's never had a big group of girlfriends to hang out with? My kids are pre teen age and since the old teen drinking crowd faded off 15 years ago I'm still searching for basic friendship. Is it just me? 😔

My former best friend ditched me and im trying to understand why.

Im really just ranting here. Please be gentle with me. My best friend of 25 years , we were single , messy and childfree together and then she got pregnant at 18, got married and I was still a single loser and her forever sidekick. I was always always there helping her take care of her baby girl. And when her terrible no good husband cheated and left I was of course always there. Years later she got remarried to an amazing kind man and had another beautiful baby! I was still there babysitting so they could have date nights! I also got married to a long time friend and me and my husband baby sat for her all the time! We tried to get pregnant for years and years and even while we were trying ivf , we still baby sat at least once a month. Finally I had my first baby and I felt a complete shift from my friend. She never offered to throw a baby shower or anything like this first of all even though I threw TWO BABY SHOWERS, BACHELORETTES etc etc. Her and husband came to see us weeks after the baby was born and then there was a real real distance. I felt really weird like where are you.. I need you the most now. I dont know wtf im doing. I have much younger sister and brother so my mom is busy with them! Then when I had my second baby.. it was almost radio silence. She brought over a gift and that was it. She told us theyre planning to move to Colorado from where we live in Toronto for husbands work. Which is great im super happy for them but I just thought it was very weird about not being happy for me about my babies especially knowing I struggled with fertility etc. So she moved. And now she keeps flying back to Toronto all the time to see another friend of hers, who used to be just an acquaintance, this friend is single party girl, no husband or kids. Never calls or msgs me anymore. Is she upset that I had kids? I was still willing to babysit. I just needed to like figure out my own baby for a bit?? Like?? Wtf is the deal

Looking for a bestie

I'm just trying to come out of my comfort zone of my anxiety 😬 so let's here goes nothing! Hi I'm Savannah but y'all can call me Sav or Savvy ❤️ but I'm a SAHM which I have 2 step kiddos (who are almost 9 and 11) I also have a almost 5 year old plus I'm pregnant right now with my second which I will be knowing the gender really soon now plus I have a Airforce Veteran for a boyfriend! I have a cat named Sunshine Marie and a dog Lexi Mae! I love to play games, watch horror movies, and listening to serial killer documentaries 🙈 especially if I'm watching Bailey Sarian! I'm not the best at communicating due my anxiety sometimes but I would love to find a bestie!
