I was seriously thinking about going on Lexapro UNTIL I watched some of the videos, and the side effects terrified me! To make a long story short, I have sleep apnea. I recently got fitted for the oral device, and been sleeping with it for about two months now, AND FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!! It took a little getting use to, at first, but when I get 5 or more hours a night with it, it has done wonders with my anxiety, and not half as crabby as I was, especially in the am. I have this incredible amount of energy now too! Cutting back on the alcohol helped immensely too! Your videos are great, and has helped with a few things, you have recommended! Anyway, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So happy to hear an update and know your okay ! You are the reason I stayed with my journey when I first started lexapro . 2 years later and I’m only on 5 mg and doing good . Congrats on your baby girl as well ❤️
Congratulations on your new baby Clara! I think its a great idea for anyone that takes about 5mg of Lexapro or another SSRI. It's basically like microdosing, and I've had positive effects from doing the same when I took Paxil 2.5mg - 5mg. I'm thinking about doing the same again, but hesitant to do it because I might be just fine the way I am and I don't want to get worse. All the best wishes to you.
Hi Aaron !! Glad everything is going alright on your end. I started Lexapro (5mg) 4 weeks ago and definitely taking the increase slowly. Might go up to 7.5 on week 6 or 7 depending on what my doctor says. The thing that’s hard to get past is the feeling in my chest where it’s like I feel short of breath sometimes. Super weird. But I like the idea of box breathing and sitting up straight and will try that (I also don’t breath deeply when feeling anxious). Good suggestion!
Glad to see you are doing well thanks for the update 😀 😊 👍 Hope your family is doing well. Actually have a boy on the way myself due in Jan 2022 so crazy to think at 37 I'm having another child but I'm super stoked don't be a stranger I'm sure we all miss you around here
Hey Aaron. Great to see you back!! Congrats on your new baby!! I recently cut back on my dosage. I went from 10mgs to 5mgs. I noticed a 7-8lb weight gain and hated it. Prior to the weight gain, I've been the same weight for over 10 years even after having my kids. It's definitely hard to lose it once you've gained it. I've cut back a lot on foods and working out more but it's still there. So that's a bit frustrating. So I'm chalking it up to the medication slowing my body down. It has helped my anxiety though which is good but the weight gain is messing with me. Oh well, guess everything can't me perfect! 🤷🏽♀️
Hi Aaron.......My mother died and I have bad anxiety and can't live alone.....would I be able to sleep on lexapro?.........I am also taking klonopin and I want off of it and live a normal life like Aaron....how long does it take to feel a difference.....my anxiety is really bad since she died and I have lost so much weight.....and want to be able to sleep so bad....HELP!!
Diane, you still haven't started lexapro?! I know it's nerve racking to start but you will be fine. Take it before bed, you will curb many of the side effects and you will probably sleep just fine. You can't keep living like this. It's time to stop all this worry and finally relax and take a sigh of relief. You will never know all the ends and outs of what to expect when starting a medication. But any of them have to be better than what you are living with now. I know you can get to a better mental state. You just need to take that leap of faith. I wish the best for you! Let me know when you start!
Happy to see a new Video Aaron. My anxiety has been bad!! Whats the name of your Anxiety group? I was scawred where i was age 63 feeling out of place.. I know thats crazy.. Ty Aaron,, Jo Ann In North Fla,,,Lake City,Fla

Hi Aaron! I just started 5gm last Tuesday. I'm glad your life is going well :) We missed you
Hey Aron I started lexapro again 10 mg it has been a month but it’s not working that I was before I don’t know why. Any suggestions please thanks
How is Sam doing?
Hey Aaron! Are you still on 7.5mg. I know you went down from 10mg due to memory. Has the 7.5mg been good for you?
I ended up going back up to 10 and have been there for about a year or so. It's been great for me.
