Re: A question for anyone who is, or was on antidepressants or alternative/natural meds.

Hi. wandjmom back. I have been put on Lexapro for 3 weeks now and It has really helped with the anxiety I have been experiencing since my husband passed away last month. OMG!!! It has been Hell and I am soooooooo thankful that I had the mirena out in April. I don't think I would've made it through this horrible situation if I still had it in. I have more severe symptoms during ovulation. That seems like the worst time for me. I get palps and all. Seemed like I had them more often just after getting on Lexapro, but those side effects have subsided. Have pelvis tingling, but I think it is from constipation. Need more fiber and water. I am really depending on the Lexapro to get me through the next year or so and really never want to go off if it keeps me sane. If it helps, why the heck not. God made the man that made the pill, right? Hope all you ladies are doing okay. I'll be back soon. Busy being wandjdom/ dad&mom.
p.s. I am glad I was able to apologize to my hubby for the past 6 years of hell minus the 3 great months we have recently had, prior to his death. Kiss your man tonight and thank him for standing by your side. It really sucks that for the first time in years we were really enjoying life together again. God has a plan, so enjoy every day and be thankful for what you have.
much love.
