What is wrong with me?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I did go back to my doc and we upped my meds. I now take one pill twice a day. We think it just has to do with all the time I have had on my hands and the dramatic change in my schedule... I am feeling much better now and hope these meds keep working.. Thanks for all the support..

Every drug is not right for everyone. Lexapro seems to be working to your disadvantage. I have tried a lot of them over the course of the last 10 years and find Celexa and Cymbalta (helps with fybromyalgia terrifically) to be the best of the drugs out there. Give your dr. a call and perhaps a different med will have you feeling better in no time.

God Bless,

Just noticed your up-date where the dr. increased your meds. I hope this works for you, but upping my meds only made me more tired. Anti-depressants do that to me anyway. If this doesn't work, ask to have your meds changed. My daughter's sunny disposition completely disappeared on Lexapro and she was grouchy and touchy all the time. She is now on Cymbalta and loving the way she is feeling. Anything 40 mg or more is too much of an anti-depressant to take in one day.

God Bless

Hey Dody,

I am on 100 mg a day and I fell ok. I do see that I am a little tired but at least I am getting up and not crying ALL the time. I am new to this and have never needed meds. before. This is the first time I have talked about it to anyone other than my Dr. I had no idea that so many people were needed help in the medication form. It is good to know that I am not the only people in the world needing this. I only wish I had done something sooner about it. I suffered 2 months, before I went to my dr. because I was imbarrased to tell someone that I was not supermom and I just could not hold it all together. At 1st I was put on Lexapro but after taking that 1 month I had to stop it. I was have sevear HOT flashes like every 20 mins. So I went on zoloft, and it seemed to work for me until I got out of school for the summer. Then those feelings came back. I get so aggervated and want to say to myself "JUST SNAP OUT OF IT" but I can't. I think I will call the dr. again and see if we can try something new. Thanks for all the advise.. I love LTB

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
