Yesterday I got in my car and forgot I had my left airpod in, I had already driven away and didn’t have the case so I left it in my cupholder and planned to put it back in my case when I arrived home. Unfortunately I forgot about it and it was in my car in the sun for about an hour. We had a heatwave and outside temps reached about 100F (37C). The inside of my car was easily much hotter. I took it out when I realized and let it cool off inside.

It’s been 24 hours and it seems as though transparency mode doesn’t work anymore. If I have just one AirPod in my ear, it sounds like noise cancelling is on. When I put both AirPods in and switch to transparency, the left AirPod still sounds like noise cancelling is on. When I actually turn noise cancelling on, everything sounds normal and there is no sound distortion.

I know this is my fault, but I’m hoping maybe there is something I can do to fix it. Any suggestions?

I want to preface this post by saying that I see my doctor tomorrow and I’m going to discuss this with her. I’m not making any medical decisions with Reddit advice, I’m just looking to hear others opinions!

I’ve been taking 10mg Lexapro for a little over 3 months (I’m also on Adderall) and I’ve had an interesting experience with it. The first month was really rough for me, I was experiencing worsened depression and anxiety with a ton of other side effects. I know that this can be common when people start on Lex so I powered through it hoping it would go away.

My mood has seen a massive improvement on Lex, and I’m so much happier and less irritable. It’s like the clouds went away and I’m not constantly depressed. The one issue is that my anxiety has worsened since I started it. The severity comes and goes but my anxiety has been so bad that I haven’t been eating and I’ve lost 8lbs since I started. It’s like this anxiety feeling mixed with jitteryness. At first I thought maybe it has to do with my Adderall, but I’ve been on Adderall much longer and haven’t experienced this until the Lex.

My anxiety has gotten so bad that my Apple watch notified me that my average resting heart rate for the past few months (since I started Lex) is higher than normal. I’m really sad because I don’t want to go off of it, but if it’s making my anxiety this bad I might have to. I know that there’s an adjustment period, but it’s been over 3 months and I feel like by now I shouldn’t still be experiencing this much anxiety. Has anyone experienced this?

I currently have a 2023 Mazda CX-5 PP. I love my car, but unfortunately with the price of living going up my car payments are too much. I’m looking to have either a very small car payment or none at all.

My aunt is moving and she will sell me her 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid S with 48k miles for $7k which is well below asking. It’s a one owner and in good shape. If I bought it, I’d be able to sell my Mazda and have no car payment whatsoever. Plus it’s a hybrid, and my CX-5 gets 22-25mpg usually.

I’m not happy about making this decision, but I really need a car that will be cheap/low cost that will last me for a few years and hopefully in the future I’ll be able to buy something nicer.

Is this car reliable *enough*? It doesn’t have to last me forever, but if it can’t last me until 100k at least then I don’t want it.

I’ve been on 10mg Lexapro for over a month, and I haven’t really had any good experiences. My anxiety and depression got worse in the beginning, I’ve experienced so many side effects (sweating, nausea, trouble peeing and sexual function issues), and occasionally I’ll feel high or disconnected. The only positive experience I’ve had was my mood improved slightly on it as of recently. My anxiety is actually worse now than it was before I started taking it however. This morning, I felt so nauseous and high it was like I was on a different planet. I was at a family event and the entire time I felt awful.

I know that this medication takes time to work, but it’s been over a month and my life has gotten worse on it. I really wanted it to work after hearing all of the stories, but I think it might just not be for me.

I was prescribed 10mg and I’ve been taking it for the past 4 days. The first day I got incredibly nauseous for about 30 minutes approx 1 hour after taking it. The nausea went away and I felt fine for the rest of the day. The second day I felt a little drowsy but overall normal. Yesterday I woke up around 8AM, took the Lexapro and went back to sleep (it was my day off) I woke up at 1PM feeling incredibly dazed, like how it feels when you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I continued to feel out of it the entire day, almost like a high feeling. I stayed that way almost the entire day, the effect wore off by the evening. Last night, I woke up at 4AM with a ton of anxiety and I had trouble falling back asleep. I woke up later and got ready for work, and I went through most of today feeling fine. I got home from work and took a nap (not uncommon for me) and I woke up again with the same anxiety feeling mixed with feeling like I’m sick. I also feel kinda in a bad state mentally.

I was told that side effects are normal within the first couple weeks, so I was gonna wait a week before reaching out to my Dr. I’m curious to know if anyone else has experienced these symptoms, and if they do go away? I know several people also on Lexapro and they told me they experienced none of this.
