I took Lexapro @ bedtime and slept on my arm(?) and it has hurt all day.
But the thing is, 'I never really woke up' .. I mean when I awakened I had that 'cottonhead feeling'.
Took a nap and and didn't really fall asleep .. ya' know how you can be too tired to fall asleep? Ya just lay there spaced-out?
Well, now I've got a headache or it may be an 'aggravation of my c-spine injury', which always presents as a headache. I've had a lot of psych meds cause me headaches. Shall I post about this?
Someone told me once that when I'm on an 'AD', I'm mean. Anyone ever been 'mean' when on an AD as opposed 2 not being on one and being 'nice'? Shall I post about this?
I began my communication w/ the world by calling one daughter and saying 'Did you get your God fix for the week at church this morn?' ... and then proceeded to cause of bit of 'boat rocking' in another's day. I'm a meanie, butt that's not really me, myself, I.
So far not looking good for Lexapro.
It was/is another daugter's b-day and wanted to go see her, but way too 'tired and out of it and headachey'.
Tks J for your support. I really was doing better months back when the only thing I was on besides Valium was 75mg of Lyrica. Butt then holidays brought memories of father and depression (actually grief) created anxiety to rise in me and that's when I approached P about something more than my Val. He began the AD w/ the anti-an*iety properties spiel.
I've asked my PCP if he would just prescribe for my anxiety, but he's already been sitting out on a limb for me for years. He prescribes my oxycodone monthly, plus will call in hydrocodone if needed for breakthrough pain.
Butt this is good news. Altho' it will cost me small co-pays, I have a Medicare Advantage Plan and did make an appt w/ a P.
Butt this is bad news. It will cost me $150 ... because, I can't see both at once. I'll have to await and see if he is also 'anti-be*zo' b4 going w/ him. Should I just call and ask?
(I don't know why I always say him when I refer to a P. I have had a couple good women.)
I threw away the paper/description of Lexapro as I didn't want the POS to get me!
Is there any way that an AD can aggravate a c-spine injury. Shall I post this?
Not too many followups.
Don't more of my butties care abutt me :(+B= ?
