Hi,
Me - F 39, , I Have ADHDand take:
methylphenidate in extended form,
pregabalin for muscle tension and
Hydroxisine (5 mg) for sleep and allergy.
Effexor 150x2 daily
My doctor suggested taking lexapro for my pmdd (
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder - it's like pms on steroids).
I was taking 5 mg for 3 weeks and it was day up and next down.
The next 2 days I was taking 10 and I was feeling awful, my ADHD meds were less effective, I was seeking coffee, cigarettes and other dopamine stuff.
My mind went to a very dark place for 2/days and everything was harder.
I want to quit lexapro, I have a few days until my next doc appointment.
I was thinking about tempering from 5 to 2.5 mg for a few days and checking how I'm feeling.
Or is it better to start from 5? I don't like the way that I'm feeling on 5 :/.
Can you pls share your experience with short term lexapro?
