Hi Jim:-) and we're glad to see posts from you! I know you've probably heard this and seen it here but try to be patient~~it is so worth it. Always log on here and post whenever you feel ya need to while you're getting used to the Lexapro. Have you talked to your doc about what you're feeling too? Does he/she say or do anything to help you? No problem in addressing the original post~~just jump right in--no rules on that and no way do you ramble~I'm the rambling queen lately ;) My mind tends to race too some more at times than others. I try to just do 'thought-stopping' which is when I just say to myself 'okay...I can't do anything about this right now (usually this works when trying to go to sleep) or just trying to tell myself that I can't do all these things at once. Maybe this will help, I know it's hard Jim, I really do.
Hang in there buddy! We're all here for you:-)

> I sure am glad to see posts from all of you. It's neat seeing that success with Lex is possible. It doesn't feel like that now. This is only the first week and of course I want everything better right now. I'm trying to be patient but the side effects are not much fun and I don't feel all that great. I know we will have changes in our mood. I think it's normal and I think the meds just help us process things a little easier. It's been months since I have felt like I wasn't trying to dig out of a hole. I think what I hate the most is that I cannot seem to shut my mind off. When a thought starts...it's off to the races for hours. Wears me out. Kind of like OCD of the brain. Anyway...sorry to ramble. And I didn't really address the original post either. That's the kind of day it's been. Thanks for being here.
