Im 16 (f) and this stuff tastes like coffee. Also I feel very detached and dissociative, is this because of the meds?
I know I'm not on Lexapro anymore but for a while I was taking half of either 15mg or 10mg then after 3 weeks switched to a full pill/tablet as instructed by my doctor. It was worsening my depression but also working great for my anxiety and panic attacks. I told my doctor this and she told me to starting taking the rest of my pills as halves again and then stop which I did for like 3 days. I know I'm 16 and I need to be more responsible but I have a very hard time remembering to take my pills and my dad stopped telling me to take my pills so I just kept forgetting. I'm having panic attacks every night now and haven't been able to properly sleep for weeks. I had one today and I really hate it.
I'm only 16. I've never done recreational drugs nor considered it. I was having a severe panic attack 16-20 hours ago and took a drug that was PRESCRIBED (lorazepam) to me (but the lorazepam was prescribed to me before I started taking effexor) today is supposed to be my first day starting effexor. I think the half life is like 12 hours for 0.5 mg of lorazepam? I don't know what that means really but I don't want to die. I was panicking because I misunderstood the doctor and quit cold turkey on my old meds (lexapro) so I was having withdrawal symptoms I guess. I don't know but I'm scared. I understand this is reddit and not everyone is a doctor but hopefully someone can tell me if I'm gonna die or not?????
UPDATE: I'm alive!!! I feel a bit ridiculous reading this post now but I was genuinely worried that I was gonna die in my sleep from a drug interaction.
