Day 8 on Cipralex...

one week after, woke up once again with huge boner and really horney, but it seems like it setteled down or something, i wonder if there will be a change soon...because im starting to feel kinda stuck again and its annoying, but at least i do not get much panic attacks lately, a general feeling of less giving a fuck about things...kinda tierd even tought i sleep more... and its easier to fall a sleep now...i feel like lying in the sun,

now its afternoon , just got some bad news from my bro, usually i would over react and have pa but i guess its much more manageable... yet still feel kinda stuck, had a quick arguement but i didnt have the flushes or panic while at it...ended it without giving a fuck...and afterwards not that pissed just dont care...or care less....or care but not with panic symphtoms

When will the cipralex start to effect

The doc said it will take 2 to 4 weeks for the pills to start have a positive effect, until then, it can also get worse...but thats normal, so take this into consideration, have patience and continue to take them even if nothing good happens in the first month...

but you will feel something (besides the side effects) i mean, something good, doesn't matter if you're taking it for depression or anxiety or for panic attacks, there are mild changes from day 2 you will notice, that will keep you going...

When to take the pill, Night or Day?

ok, I know many of you want to know more about this, so i've decided to post about it some basic pointers to consider, however the bottom line is this:

If you can't fall a sleep after taking cipralex you should take in first thing in the morning

If you get really tierd after you take it and feel like sleeping, take in at night.

thats my conclusion, whatever works for you - I take it in the morning anyways...

Cipralex and Beers...

what can I do? i know the instructions say you should not drink alchol while on escitalopram (cipralex) but how can you live in today society without an occaisocal beer with friends, anyways yesterday I had to drink some beer with friends,

and since i've drank only one glass it was ok, however I became very tierd and a bit out of focus(more than i would normally be after beer) and my stomch hurt a little, but after couple of hours it was manageable and i'll do it again, but you can't drink too much and wine is out of the question, if you can choose, got with the ones with the less percentage of alchol in them.
have fun!

also took a 10mg for the 2nd day now... but havent been a week or two from i started taking it... mean while i do see mild improvement... and if thats only after few days i wonder what will happen after two weeks or a month which is the minimum time for it to start kicking in...so , so far the side effects are manageable and much less than what i tought they will be like...after noon now, my teeth clintching again...at chilled again... later on we went to meet with eya and i once again had an anxiety before the meeting dunno why, not too serious this time... also i can say that im still freezing but just that i less give a ...about it...

Have'nt posted in a while, seems like things are just a little but better, but also little bit the same...
My doctor advised me to increase my dosage to 20 mg a day instead of 10 mg I'm taking so far.

I've been prosponing the dosage increasement for a while now...
but I guess it is time.

Cheers.

Day 56 - Quick update

Hello again,
have'nt posted in a while, lots of stuffs on my mind, and sometimes i just let myself do whatever i feel like, maybe even too much.
I talked to my shrink, she said i should pass to two pills per day, thats 20 mg, she said she does'nt think it effect me enough...

have'nt done so yet, but i will soon, I think in the next week or so.
I wish i could control my life more, I kinda got into a loop again.
but it just bother me less, or in a diffrent way.
anyways, will do something about it soon.
cheers!

Day 24 - I Gained the power of keeping up with something?

Its been a while now that i'm working out, and I actually succeded to commite myself to it and do it everyday. amazing I could never do that before, I also notice I dare to say stuffs more freely, My communication skills are starting to go back the way they used to be. It seems easier on occaisons and sometimes hard as it always been...but in those special times when I do feel OK I communicate good. I still have no confidence in myself or my body, but I feel I just might change things to be like I want...
