Ive just taken 5 mg only 30 mins ago. I have rapid heartrate feel like i cant think straight threw up.. and am freaking out bc i feel like my chest is heavy. I cant wait for this to go away never everrrrr again. This made my aniexty times 10.
I wonder if this may have just been your anxiety reacting to taking a new medicine. The medicine normally takes a month to take effect. I hope you’re feeling better!
How did it end up going for you? I haven’t started yet
@@dolcevitaslots I honestly think my panic attacks were triggered by trauma because I started feeling better before the medicine had enough time to kick in.
@@dolcevitaslots hey! Sorry I forgot to reply. I didn’t love it but If you’re looking for it to help with depression give it a shot! I’m happy I tried. It helped but it gave me erectile dysfunction. I was also taking it to help with panic attacks and not depression so I didn’t feel like I needed it as much and was okay weaning off. Talk to your doctor though don’t take my word for it! If you’re in a dark place definitely try it! Wish you the best of luck
It takes 3 to 4 hours for it to peak in your blood
I really related to the way you described those panic attacks as feeling like "no one can help you". I took Lexapro for literally two days. 5 weeks later I am still having panic attacks and dissociation as strong as I've ever felt (I have had it off on on for years). I don't know if I've ever had panic attacks like I've had since Lexapro. It is really a terrible feeling. Here's a weird twist though: for me, going thru a panic attack is almost worth it for the intense sense of relief I get when I calm down. It's like the panic reaches the point of being totally unbearable and then it passes and I feel so relieved that it's like a high. Dunno if anyone else feels that way but it's honestly one of the only things thats keeping me going lately lol.
Same here ! When she said nobody can help you and you felt suffocating.
so the makeup is going on while your discussing serious topic is pure talent.
I remember i was very suicidal and after having a couple panic attacks i knew one thing “I DID NOT WANT TO DIE” . Theres a huge difference in wanting to die and actually feeling like you are dying. Im glad im over my whole panic dp/dr phase. Because now i just want to liveeeee
I love this, tell me why this is exactly how i’ve felt my whole life.. people will always tell me it’s in my head & how can you be depressed.. but this is how I feel, I love that you talk about this stuff, makes me feel less alone.
ashley020309 I hate when other people invalidate your feelings. Like how do they even know, they aren’t you! I’ve been told the same things my whole life, and people don’t understand that it’s not just a switch and that you can be happy by thinking about good things. It’s a mental illness, it’s literally a chemical imbalance. I’m glad that I have you!
Creative.Cliche Exactly , and I love that you talk about this because a lot of people feel like they can’t & they can. Thank you for being the role model and making it public to help others and to let them see that we aren’t alone. You’re amazing, and thank you for letting us in and giving us some advise and light to speak up. thank you so much
It’s nice to hear people going through this as well!! Made me feel a lot better about it all 😁
I had this experience with lexapro also! it gave me a 2 hour panic attack, still one of the worst ones I've ever had
I’m literally like omggg cause when you talk about the depression and anxiety like overthinking, stressing.. that’s ME. And the brain telling you to panic over shit that’s not there..!! Girl same. And no one knows what the heck I’m talking about. Well.. You’re not alone. And neither am I lol. I love your grwm videos, feels like we’re friends and just getting ready and talkin about life lol💕
LifesABeaut awww your comments always make me feel better!! Anxiety and panic attacks are real, it’s just the people who haven’t experienced them that think your overreacting. Sometimes it comes out of no where, I’ll just be standing there and all the sudden a wave of panic sweeps over me! It does make you feel insane, especially if you don’t have someone to talk to who also goes through it. We will fight this together!
Same! Same sameeeeee lol I didn’t know others thought about this too.
I had the same exact thing happen my around my 2nd week into zoloft. My panic attacks were on a whole new level and I went to the ER twice for them before I quit cold Turkey lol. I was so out of my mind and I always feel like "hmm I'm gunna die for sure this time, but hopefully not". And everytime I have a panic attack I also wanna run outside and lay on the ground to try to like "ground" myself on something cold. I'm about to start lexapro now and I was tearing up watching this just knowing that you've gone through so much of the same feelings and are so open about sharing your story. It's really made me feel so much better watching this. Hopefully lexapro works for me though fingers crossed lol. Keep doing you girl I feel ya and we can get through all this craziness we gotta deal with. I'm glad you shared your story. I'll update ya about a month from now and see how lexapro is treating me ... 😅😭 wish me luck
Emily Pagonis I’m so glad to hear that you felt the same way! It really makes you feel crazy when you talk to others who don’t go through the feeling of panic attacks and how it really does feel like your dying! Definitely let me know how it works for you- everyone’s body chemistry is different so Lexapro might be the right choice for you!
any update haha?
@AnxietyAtom so the first day I took Lexapro I had a really bad reaction to it, within the first hour I felt the kind of dizziness that being too drunk feels like, i tried to lay down and fall asleep for a little bit, I woke up hallucinating (my boyfriend was disproportionate and my room looked like the lights were blue even though they were normal lightbulbs) my pupils were dilating in and out, my eyes felt like they were being squeezed with pressure from the inside, I was nauseous, wired feeling and I felt like I had a really bad migraine. I called my Dr. But he wasnt in the office so a nurse told me to take a half of the pill the next day to see If I had a reaction still. I took the half pill for some reason after that cause I wanted something to work for me- and the nurse told me to, but I felt sick from it that day too so I stopped after that 2nd day. Then I was scared to try anything else for a month or so but my panic attacks were so bad and I was also having trouble swallowing my food along with the panic and anxiety, so my psychiatrist wanted to put me on Prozac. The first week felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride, super happy and then super sad over and over. Panic attacks got more consistent- 3 times in one day at one point. Then 2 weeks into taking the Prozac (end of october of 2020) I started having "tic attacks" and have had tics everyday since. The Doctors had been dumbfounded by the tics and were denying it was caused by the prozac. I was convinced it was another bad reaction to the anxiety meds at first. The only thing that helped my anxiety and panic was when they gave me Klonopin. I was on it for 7 months until I weaned myself off of it. I was becoming addicted to it as my body got more used to it I'd have to take a higher dose to feel like it was working still. They said it wouldnt be a long term solution but after 7 months they still had no idea what was wrong with me and no plan.. I had tremors and involuntary body movement and sometimes I couldnt move my legs or would walk funny like my balance was off. So the anxiety and panic attacks were lessened by the klonopin but I was still having the other symptoms that were unexplained. Trouble swallowing, weakness in my limbs, tics and tremors, etc.. I got scans such as EEG and MRI, swallow test, endoscopy and blood tests. Nothing explained what I was going through. They put me on Risperidone. Too many side effects and made my tics worse. They wanted me to try Ingrezza. But at this point I didnt want to try anything else. I asked my neurologist for answers why he wanted me to take the Ingrezza (although I have medicaid, it is VERY expensive without insurance) and I was worried about if I ever have insurance that doesnt cover it. I never took it because he couldnt give me any other answer than "sometimes it helps lessen tics". At this point i had become accustomed to dealing with the tics, the other symptoms were my problem, but every dr just wanted to try to "fix my tics". I got a new neurologist, and then got recommended to a special neurologist for Functional Neurological Disorder.(FND) that is now what I am diagnosed with. I am not on any medication now and I feel better without trying medicines. I definitely believe sometimes medication can work for some people. I just have never had good reactions to it and this isnt to scare anyone. But as asked, an update! So. Now I have realized that the panic attacks that I was having that felt "way different" than other panic attacks I've had are most likely (PNES) Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and or dissociative attacks. Because I would tell people I have these panic attacks that feel completely opposite of each other. Instead of feeling like I'm dying or impending doom- my body felt like it was trapped, I could only breathe in slow breaths instead of hyperventilating. I was conscious but would stare off and couldnt respond to people around me, or if I could talk my speech was slurred. My whole body would tremor and I couldnt stand or walk. So I have realized theres different "episodes" as I call them that I have and they all tie into FND. Panic attacks, PNES and dissociative attacks. I think the first time I had a seizure like episode was when I first took zoloft and ended up in the ER, but I mistook it for panic attack because I was so scared that I couldnt speak to the people around me during the episode, and I had never heard of a seizure where you're conscious before. I do get confused while having them but usually I have some sense of who and what is around me. Im in physical therapy for FND, I see a special psychiatrist and psychologist who specialize in it and I'm doing okay but theres not really any medicine that would help me. So I take each day as it comes. Also- if you're trying to lessen panic attacks, please try to eliminate all caffeine. Even "decaffeinated" things contain caffeine. It has helped lessen my panic attacks so much and is definitely worth it. So yeah thank you for taking the time to read :)
@@emilypagonis4226 Jesus loves you I found peace with him When I have my crisis, but It’s not bad to look for medications but Just Know that there’s nothing too big for Him He can cure anything He loves you believe in him And leave it in his Hands❤
Oh that's interesting! I have the same nobody could ever tell what it was, are U still there?
apparently it’s really common for people with anxiety to have worsened symptoms for a couple weeks on lexapro before it builds up enough that it becomes therapeutic. definitely experienced that myself. just something to know in case you reconsider trying it out again
does it eventually work tho?
I’m sorry to hear about that,, you are strong girl ,, hope u get better ✌️✌️
Wilfred Colon aww thank you Wilfred, it’s all in the past thank god!!
I just experienced this as well. I have never felt like that before. It kicked in about 1-2 hrs after ingestion. Then for like 6-8 hrs. What came after for you?
I feel like you told my exact feelings and story, thank you for sharing🖤
It was such a horrendous experience that I’m scared to try another medication 🥲
Going outside on a walk really helped!
You don’t need makeup, you’re a show off lol I had a horrific experience with lexapro, Akathisia, burning head like I had just smoked a joint, fatigue and feeling super drowsy... you definitely had Akathisia
How long were you on lexapro?
Seems like you have a handle on this better than most..stay strong! Ur the best🌹
I'm 2 weeks on 10mg lexapro and my anxiety is worse than when I started but I have suffered from anxiety and depression and panic attacks for 15 years and it's every day all day and gets worse as the day wears on so I'm pushing through cause my dr told me that the anxiety would take 6 or more weeks to subside and I will probably be on them for life I'm 52 years old. Also I went through a terrible benzodiazepines withdrawal 15 years ago and I never fully recovered from them and still suffer from benzo withdrawal, benzos ruined my life
I definitely feel your pain. I feel like Lexapro left a lasting anxiety effect that I never quite had before going on. I did hear that it makes it worse before making it better but that journey just wasn’t for me. This sounds so basic but working out and making sure that I’m getting essential vitamins and minerals really helped me. Magnesium especially really changed my life- “doctors best high absorption chelted” is the best and you can get it on Amazon. Not sure if you already went that route but definitely worth a try!
@@Creative.Cliche Thanks for replying, but yes I do take magnesium and have for years, but how long did you take lexapro for and did it help when you were on it
@@timharris7425 hi Tim, how are you now?
how long have you been on benzos?
@@fabulouslivinglife I have been benzo free for 15 years, but I have severe osteoarthritis on c3 c4 c5 c6 and c7, I'm just trying to push off surgery as long as I can and its progresingly gotten worse and I do get steroid injections in my neck every 6 months or so, and so with that said the chronic pain and severe nerve pain I have is what is driving my anxiety cause theres no escape from it, I feel if I could have a successful surgery then I would do it but I know alot of people that had spinal surgery that made things worse so I'm constantly thinking about this thus ramping up my anxiety and the quality of life has completely went away due to my neck, I fractured my neck back in 94 and healed from it but as I got older arthritis took over with a vengeance and its terrible.
@@timharris7425 hey Tim, my mother have had spine hernia which was inside spine, she suffered many years from that, she was crying and almost could not walk, and she was so afraid of surgery…
But after she couldn’t literally walk and lay without feeling massive pain she decided to go for the surgery. And it’s been more than 17 years since… She is normal, no more pain.
(i know that you suffer and you’re almost hopeless, so i can leave you some info about the doctor and the country where it happened. He is still working, his name is: iulian glavan. Country: Moldova)
I loved the moment "drink a lot of water" hahaha Maybe you could recreate or talk about the evolution you've had with your make-up, I mean, how you did your make-up when you were starting Vs. How you do it now :)
i just had this happen to me the other day. lexapro did NOT agree with me-made me worse and made me feel crazy. never had a panic attack before starting it. needless to say i went off of it
Same here it was BAD. I had to get a dose of ativan at the er to calm down. 😳
I was taking escitalopram for a short time and it ruined my life. Now I have permanent anhedonia and disthimia. People used to like being around me... now they run away because I'm a soul-less zombie.
I’m taking lexapro for 2 months . From the 20th day to the first month , I felt a good improve . After that I’m having a lot of panick atacks and chest pain . Going to a new psychiatry soon .
caio ribeiro oh no! I hope that they can switch you off of it! Panic attacks are the absolute worst!
Citalapram is really Awsome
I tried one other one once and I had a full blown panic attack for half day. And when I panick hard my body just goes to sleep 😂 so slept it off
I took 1 10 mg tablet and felt awful for hours. Rapid heartbeat and extreme anxiety which it's supposed to treat. Never again.
It was bad for me the first 8 days but then it worked wonders. It’s either I have panic attacks like I normally do or have panic attacks on medication.
On it right now and having impending doom feeling constantly.
hi, how it went?
@@fabulouslivinglife lowered my dose to 5mg and feeling much bettwr
I did the same it could but snowing below 0 I would still need to go outside
do you have to play with your nose and face while doing the video???
you're so fucking pretty !!!
Cool
patri smosh bianco thank you☺️
This woman is very irresponsibly talking absolute BS about a number of things. Anyone with anxiety or panic disorder should absolutely avoid some of the things she is. You cannot ever get a heart attack from a panic attack and "exercise and eating well are just as good as any medication". Go and invest your time into listening to genuine professionals - not this person.
Siento que deberias tener mas subscriptores para tu calidad son muy buenos
Últimamente no entiendo tus videos
:V. 😅
@PatrySilva: Aprenda Ingles!
I have that same issue with public transit. I used to work in Times Square and had to ride in on the bus/train every day. It was like torture. I definitely panicked and stayed home more than a few times.
Lari Rivera 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for opening up. Stay strong ❤
Thats alot of makeup
