What Did You Have For Breakfast This Morning..?

Lexapro is evil. I have seen it change people into virtual zombies. They lose their drive...it's like they live behind a veil.
This entire class of drugs is extremely over-prescribed. The real problem with these drugs is that sure it reduces anxiety - but the killer is it also reduces all other emotions. It literally makes you fade.

Zombies are a good way to put it. Every person I know on them is emotionally flat lining. No ups or downs, everything is hohum.

The real evil part is it's mental dependency. It fucks you over in a big way. If someone who has been on it for an extended period wants to stop taking them - NOW THEY ARE DEPRESSED, including suicidal thoughts and self loathing. It is a drug that turns any POTENTIALLY depressed person into a REAL depressed person if they try and quit. And THAT is evil.

coffee and Lexapro. The usual.

Need to start a lunch thread. IT's more interesting.

I'd dump the Lexapro. I was on it for a month or two. The quack I went to at the time prescribed it because I told I I didn't sleep well. Like a fool I didn't check up on it. Made me light headed (more than usual) I couldn't even ride my motorcycles. The guy had Lexapro posters all over his office, obviously getting a kick back from them. I found out it's an anti-depressant, threw the shit away.

Here's some side effects:

Lexapro: Drug Uses, Dosage, & Side Effects - Drugs.com

• drowsiness, tired feeling;
  
  
• sleep problems (insomnia);
  
  
• vision changes;
  
  
• mild nausea, gas, heartburn, upset stomach, constipation;
  
  
• weight changes;
  
  
• decreased sex drive, Impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm; or
  
  
• increased sweating.

I did dump it for Effexor which did NOTHING! (I was on it for 3 months)
The Lexapro is perfect - I have a FEW of the side effects but they are worth it!

I think different meds work for different people...

Lexapro is easy to stop. I have done it. Never had any problems.

BTW - this morning. Coffee and Lexapro - (coffee has 2 tsp of sugar and a bunch of french vanilla flavored creamer)

You should work on your natural state instead of the chemical lobotomy.

I've tried but I don't like listening to people (counselors) - I need a really smart one that can manipulate me

Over easy on the eggs and no butter on toast...
We eat eggs and bacon almost every day unless it like a sausage day...

That never works, control comes from the addict, only, no one else can do it...
