My doctor hasn’t called yet, but the results of my MSLT were just posted to MyChart. Obviously, I don’t have a dx yet, but I’m feeling so much relief. My average sleep latency was 7 minutes, and I slept for all five naps. No SOREMs, which I expected. My symptoms fit more with IH. But I’m so happy that I can see my results and not stress about it. My tech didn’t tell me anything at my study, which makes sense as I’m not sure how much they’re allowed to share with the patient, but I’m so happy to be able to see it now.

My last nap, I didn’t think I’d sleep at all because I’d done nothing but sleep all day and I was so anxious to be done, but it was my shortest latency of all (3 minutes). I went home after my test, made dinner, and slept through the night 😅

Just got out of my MSLT. Honestly feel kind of crazy 😵‍💫

I didn’t feel like I slept during the first nap but it had been the full 35 minutes before the tech came in to wake me up so I must have at least a little.

The second and third naps felt like 2 minutes long. I went to sleep, felt a little anxious that I wouldn’t fall asleep, and then my tech was knocking on the door to wake me up. The fourth and fifth I was really anxious to be done so I had more trouble falling asleep but I’m still pretty sure I did. I didn’t really dream so I’m not sure I had any SOREMs, but I guess I’ll know when I get my results 🤷‍♀️ I’m a little discouraged that I went through all five naps. I’m hoping that doesn’t mean my latency was too long because I’m dying for some help here.

But I’m so glad it’s over and I hope I get some answers so I don’t have to do that again!

I never felt like I experienced any crazy side effects from Lexapro. Been on 20mg for about 2 years. I had to taper off because I have a sleep study next week and it can affect the results.

I have cried more in the past three days than I had in the past year.

I used to be a big crier. Every movie made me cry. I’d cry when I was sad, happy, excited, scared. Tears were like the default response. I didn’t mind this. It felt like a foo release.

Since I started on Lexapro, Ive more commonly been “cry-constipated,” like, I feel the emotion and want to cry, but have trouble letting it out. It gets all stuck inside like a dull ache. I didn’t realize how much i missed being able to cry. I cried the other day writing a card to my mom on Mother’s Day. I cried because of a video I saw on TikTok. I cried because I read a children’s book. And it’s not hard either. No buildup, I just burst into tears. I feel like I’m letter out two years worth of pent up tears!

Hello! I have a 3 month old long haired boy that I brought home about two weeks ago. My roommate went out of the country and left a bouquet of flowers her bf got her. There were a few different flowers, but there was a lily or two, and a couple of roses I think.

I threw away the bouquet and water, vacuumed the area, sticky-taped the carpet, sprayed with enzyme cleaner, and wiped my kitten down with hypoallergenic wipes, but I’m still a little worried I missed some pollen or that some got in the air? Is there anything else I should do or am I being overly anxious?
