I've been on Lexapro for almost two years, and while I feel so much better overall, I still have mostly "okay" days, a few "really great" days, and a smaller amount of "awful" days. And I've gained 20 pounds since starting the med.
Some mornings, after my husband leaves for work and son leaves for school, I just go back to bed for another 1 1/2 hours, until it's time for me to get ready for work. I used to be able to get myself up at around 5:00 a.m. to exercise, but just can't get up that early, at least in the winters.
I have kept exercising, though not pushing myself hard enough, maybe. And I know my resolve about eating right just isn't strong enough, even though I want the rewards so badly.
So since it's been two years since seeing the doctor in person, I called to make an appointment, saying that maybe we could try something else? Most important, I want to get back to feeling
good most of the time.
But if I could also get some of my ability to exert some self-control over my big fat eating mouth
I'd be pretty happy about that also
Doctor's appointment Friday
