tx and lexapro - Hepatitis Message Board

jessy28 · 03-02-2007, 06:43 PM

So I think I am on wk eight or so of my tx. I am trying not to keep track. But I have been so moody. One minute I want to cry and the next I am frustrated and then overwhelmed by silly little chores around the house...ect... Anyway I tried taking lexapro only to stop taking it after the second day or so because it made me feel weird. Now I need it obviously so I finally broke down last night and tried it again as suggested by doctor I took it at night instead of in the morning. I took it at eight pm. I did not feel weird this morning. This is good so I took another one this evening. Lets see how I do tomorrow with the hole weird feeling. If I could get rid of this minor depression and some of these mood swings I would feel a million times better right now. I will keep you all posted.

I took my second lexapro last night around eight pm again and I don't feel weird today. So this might work after all. I absolutely need to be on something. I am emotional all the time and my feelings get hurt way too easy. It just has felt like pms. And really it just started more in the last few weeks. Anyway...I hope it goes good for myself. I am usually a very stable person.

So it has been four days of lexapro and I feel way better already. That is a relief and it is not making me feel weird anymore. I am so thankful for this.

Just terrific that you found something that is helping with this. I eventually decided that the emotional 'side effects' were among the very most damaging of this tx. I did not take antidepressants, and this may have been an error. what I experienced was not classic depression, but still, i might have made it easier on myself and especially on my wife, if I had done something for the astonishing crankiness I eventually developed.

So, good for you. Stay with whatever seems to help you.

peace

I am so glad that you are feeling better. I know that you really didn't want to take the antidepressant but if its working I'm glad that you decided to. I'm hoping that when I'm done with the treatment I can get off of these too. We'll see. good luck.
