• Lexapro=Severe Depression?
|
A couple years ago I was having mild chest pains which was unusual for someone my age. I went to the Dr and explained that I did feel anxiety in social settings and my job was very stressful. Doc prescribed me Lexapro and I havent been the same since. I felt awesome for 2 days on the drug then suddenly it all came crashing down and I had suicidal ideations for the first time in my 25 years. I also felt like a zombie and ended up tossing the pills in the toilet. I am now closing in on 29 and still deal with day to day depression and isolation which has worsened ever since that poison was introduced to me. Is it possible that my brain chemistry has been permanently altered? I am actually paranoid about physicians after the experience.

• I am on 10mg of lexapro now for severe depression. If I am having three really?
|
depressing days in a row, could that be a sign that it is not working. I have been taking it for three months now. I have had sad days before on it but I bounce back the next day. It has been three days now for me. Is this normal? If I went to my MD doctor who gave it to me will he change my meds or will he just up my dosage?

I've lost 10 pounds, and can't eat, I'm very skinny now; I just feel like crying and sleeping all the time. My doc. gave me Lexapro, I'm afraid to take it. Is depression and anxiety a disease. I honeslty just want to quit my job and curl into a ball and cry for the rest of my life.

• Depression and paranoia on Yaz and Lexapro,?
|
I have been on Lexapro for a little over 6 months. I got put on Yaz by a gynecologist a week ago. This past week I have had really severe depression and paranoia. I feel like I can't trust anyone. Even with my own boyfriend (I've convinced myself he is lying to me about loving me and has been for two years). It is really scaring me and I don't know if it is the Lexapro, the Yaz, or the combination of both. What could it be?

• No thoughts, not reactions, no feelings - lexapro OR depression?
|
I have been on Lexapro 10mg for over 8 weeks. It has made my dysphoric/depressive spells less.... but of late I realised I am not able to feel much emotion... like some sort of zombie state of mind
I keep trying to sing songs in my mind to avoid the blank feeling... keep talking to myself in my head...
What has made me utterly distressed is that past 4-5 days I have realised/felt that I am not thinking much too. I have very few thoughts. And this scares me.
I am not sure firstly if I am emotinally-numed - I do admit that I am not reactive - I do not light up at seeing people I know... I feel apathetic and disinterested.
Before medication I recall being quite anxious and had spells of severe depression. But this state of being numb is very very difficult to take. It is making me further depressed in a way.
I have read a lot about SSRI's emotional-numbing effect, but is thought-numbing too a side-effect.
Could it be that because for the past 3 months or so I have been caught inside my mind, constantly watching myself and have been disconnected fromt the outside world has made me suddenly realise as though I have nothing to think.
I am very concerned... I am not sure if this thought-numbing/ lack of thoughts thing has been going on through the entire time of the medication, or I suddenly felt it a couple of days ago. Its definitely making life difficult beyond words.
I am infact to the extent of feeling stupid distressed. I keep wondering "how I used to think", "what I used to think" etc.... it has made my situation quite horrible.
Could anyone please help....
