Cant make any decisions lately?!
Question:
Cant make any decisions lately?
I feel confused daily on what to do. Lately I have been under alot of stress, and had a couple injuries, so I have been on meds for a little while ( Vicodin for my arm injury) and (Lexapro and valium for my stress/anxiety) I just feel like i dont know how to make the simplist decisions anymore. Dont know if its the stress of the meds. I know the meds are the culprit in making me kinda lazy and bored. And honestly I still have anxiety with the meds I am taking. I am gonna see the doc this weeek and tell him. Its been 6 weeks on lexapro and no MAJOR signs of "happiness" I just have to clean off some things from my mind that are THERE EVERY DAY> thats when I get the anxiety, when my mind starts thinking...
Answers:
That happened to me too. I told my doctor and she put me on cymbalta. I like it much better. I gained about 40 lbs while I was on lexapro. I was on it for about 1.5 years. With no progress. I was still sleeping late, forgetting things, I couldn't focus on work or anything. I started going to a therapist and I have been feeling a lot better lately. But my depression is still there, I wish it would just go away. My family thinks they have all the answers. But I'm not going to get better until I can change things for the better for myself. My family doesn't get it. But that's okay. My Doc's do and I do so that's all that matters. Good Luck to you and make sure you tell your Doc everything and mention Cymbalta. I like it much better than Lexapro.
