YES! lol scared but dont know why. its like when you KNOW someone is going to jump out and scare you but you dont know when. sometimes it gets bad like they DID jump out, but mostly its just the hightened nervousness and scared-ness. (not a real word but for us it is!)

susan how long have you been like this?? i been on lexapro and lamictal before but stopped. now im back on the lexapro. 6th day and no effect. i waited way to long to try to get back on and get help. im paying for it now...so for me i have been feeling wrong for 4'ish years. i hit my 30's and my body chemistry went haywire.

i've been consciously aware of my "problems" since i was 23...so for 17 years now. been in therapy for 17 years and on meds for the same amount of time. used to be just paxil and klonopin but last year low doses of risperdal and neurontin were added to the mix. when my anxiety is really bad i fragment so it feels like i'm all compartmentalized inside. it's a dissociative disorder i developed when i was young to deal with some family trauma that went on for many years. now i just live with it going on and off to varying degrees just because it's hard to stop doing it. doesn't even feel like i have conscious control over why and when i do it. dissociating leaves me feeling very disconnected and thus the apathy and depression. the anxiety has been around for as long as i can remember.
how did the lamictal work? i heard it can be very effective. so what's your story!?

well its long! but the short version is that when i hit my 30's my chemicals got all goofy. i am naturally hyper but now i just dont turn off. you know?
my testosterone levels fell dramatically and my brain chemicals i guess got all out of whack. so its been a struggle. the lamictal was really the good one i think. i felt so good i thought i was ok to stop taking it. now i know that it was the right mix and i should have stayed ON it... so anyway. thats the short version.

Harley I don't know how long you've been on the lexapro but when I was on it it caused severe anxiety attacks especially while I was driving. Talk to your doc about this.
