HI Lynne,
I'm glad you told me what your doc said as far as when you are supposed to take the WB. I assumed I should take one in the morning and one later in the day, my doc didnt tell me but the script was written one pill twice a day. Today was the first day that I took two. I didnt want to take it too late in the day for fear that i wouldnt be able to sleep tonight. The insomnia has been kind of rough the last few days, so I am looking forward to that going away. Geez, I certainly hope that I get the energy that you talked about that will be a welcome effect. When I was on the lex there were days I would sleep all day. If my daughter was with her dad for the weekend I would stay in bed til 5 in the afternoon. I didnt care if it was a beautiful day, I would sleep the day away. The only thing that would get me up was the guilt of sleeping the weekend away. I have a house to take care of on my own so needless to say that was not working out too well. I had no motivation to plant flowers or anything extra. I would manage to mow the lawn just for the sake of not looking bad to the neighbors, but other than that nothing. I actually told my mom "why should I plant flowers if they are just going to die in a couple of months" A couple of days after quitting the lex i actually planted a garden. I was so excited. Amazing when doing simple things like that give you such a sense of accomplishment!Enough rattling on...i'm looking forward to the dizziness going away. I feel like my brain shifts in my head everytime I look away from something. weird stuff. Keep me informed on how you are doing. I understand how you are feeling a little nervous in starting another med. Was Lexapro your first med like this? It was mine, so I am glad that I found this forum to get insight from others who are in the same boat.
\take care : )
