(17f) I've been taking 100mg for about a month now, and I haven't really noticed a change in my stress levels. Should I be taking more, or am I taking too much? I don't know a whole lot about taking supplements, and I can't exactly remember why I started taking L-theanine, but I figured someone might know.
I've been so stressed for the past few months, and I'm losing my hair and I'm constantly on edge and shaking so bad that I can't sit still. I've tried Lexapro and Prozac but nothing is working. My anxiety is at an all-time high, and there's absolutely no way this is good for me. Is there any way to calm down without freaking out about being calm or needing medication?
Will it interact in any way? I'm afraid of taking any kind of pill now because of the issues I had when taking Lexapro even if it's just to help my sinuses. I know it may be a dumb question, but I'm just scared out of my mind.
I feel like I'll never be able to move again if I sit still. Even when I'm trying to sleep, I have to have one of my legs moving, or else I just feel wrong and panic. Is this a side effect, or am I just convincing myself that I won't be able to move if I sit still?
So, for starters, CPS and everything has already been there and done that, and I don't live with the person who gave me the gummy!
Technically, I've consumed weed twice. The first time was definitely bad because I got crossfaded instead of JUST trying weed. The second time, my mother gave me a 10mg gummy, and I absolutely greened out. (Should I avoid the friend that I did it with?)
It only lasted about 2 hours and then the whole bliss thing the next day, but I wasn't able to relax. I was forced to go out of town with my grandmother, who didn't even know what I was going through, and god do I was I would've just told her instead of suffering on my own.
Fast forward a month and a half, and now I've been in a therapy program for 2 weeks and then started lexapro. I took it for 4 days and got terrified of the deja vú side effect it had on me. I'm so scared of everything that my father has had to take off of work 2 days in a row now.
Someone, please, just give me any kind of information for reassurance. I'm absolutely terrified to even go to the bathroom or get off of the couch. Im in a safe spot (my father's house), but I'm still so scared that I want to cry, but I can't because of the lexapro that is still in my system.
I stopped taking Lexapro about 2 days ago (today makes 3 but only when it turns 10 am), and I'm still feeling strong side effects of sore throat and deja vu. Even typing out this message, I feel like I've done it before. I only took Lexapro for 4 days before making the decision to stop. I'm so scared to do anything that my father has had to take off work to stay home with me. I just need reassurance that this feeling will end soon. I'm so tired of having deja vú all day, nonstop.
I keep having super long episodes, and the only advice I've gotten that WOULD be helpful is to contact my doctor, but I can't because she only works at my therapy place on weekdays and it's currently the weekend. I took Lexapro for 4 days, and the episodes were so bad the 3-4 day. I didn't take it today because I feel like it isn't the right medication for me, and I just want this episode to end. I also have a feeling I have existential OCD because I can't stop thinking about how I'm alive and how aware I am. Please, I need any kind of tips to get out of the episodes and just calm down all together. I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown because of everything. I should also mention that my first severe panic attack was caused by an incident where I greened out about a little over a month ago. I am traumatized, and my progress has definitely gone downhill since I took Lexapro.
I've only taken Lexapro for 3 days, and I've had constant deja vú episodes, dry throat, body numbness, emotional numbness, and dizziness, and I'm just overall uncomfortable. I really want to stop feeling like this, but I also just want to get better. I'm in therapy at the moment and I've been doing well but my doctor wanted to prescribe me medication anyway to "help the process", but it doesn't feel like it's helping at all. I know there's no magic pill to fix everything, but I'm just so uncomfortable.
Edit: I know this may sound weird, but I'm panicking about not being able to panic. I really don't know how to describe it. Now I feel like I'm experiencing constant deja vú, no free time from the episode. I can only contact my doctor on weekdays at therapy. This is so upsetting.
