Thank you for your feedback. I was able to tolerate half a dose a bit better and felt more like my normal self as the day went on. My doc said if it was not tolerable I could stop since my dose was low and I'd only been on it a little and that I need not worry about terrible withdrawal.

I also feel my antidepressant dose is too low and may have pooped out because I feel rather bad right when I take it; it seems to make me more connected to the moment (as they say antidepressants don't make you feel "good" they just let you feel what you feel) but that's not great when I feel anxious and obsessed with not only my physical/neuro state but also creeping existential anxieties. Like out of nowhere, I'll think that nothing really matters, but I know that's not true and I recoil from the thought.

I had a sense of overall wellbeing for 10 years on 10 mg Lexapro for migraine. I barely thought about psych issues and just thought everything was fundamentally okay. It wasn't perfect but I processed everything in terms of sleep schedule and knew if I felt down I just needed a nap and that things -always- got better or normal. Having that shaken and obsessing over myself, my life, what happiness is, what X drug does, why certain times of day feel so "off," while others feel so normal, what this means about me as a person and my prospects in life... tough times.
