I have on it for almost 2 weeks and I am feeling 100% better. I am slowly getting back into a routine,i am finally sleeping, and the I feel so much calmer. I also started back slowly at the gym. Tonight was my 1st night in about 4 months that I ran 20 minutes on the treadmill.

(when I tried to stop cold turkey) You cannot just cold turkey stop any medicine. Your body rebels. See your doctor. Hi, new hereHi everyone, first off I am so glad I found this group. I am hoping a few of you might have some friendly advice. I was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic 13 months ago at age 32. My endocrinologist suggested Lexapro to me about 6 months ago, but at that time I was not ready to try it. I did go on it 3.5 months ago and honestly it worked BEAUTIFULLY! I weaned my youngest daughter down to 1 session (breastfeeding) a day when I went on it. Well, she got sick 2 weeks ago, wanted to nurse more, and I stoppedtaking the Lexapro because I was worried about her getting too much in my breastmilk. fast forward to now..........it has been 2 weeks and I feel out of control, worse than before. I have been having brain *shocks*, brain jiggling, not sure quite how to describe this but I am having severe withdrawal symptoms. Should I get back on it? It has gotten worse every day. I now think my stopping 10mg. per day cold turkey (after being on it for 3 months) was probubly the worst decision I have ever made. I thought I owuld just be able to *get through it* but this is beyond rediculous....any words of wisdon would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou,(mommy to 4 kids, type 1 diabetic, married to the love of my life, work-out a holic!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 herbs have been around forever, don't know how anyone could say they have NO confidence in them, except psychiatrists are NOT trained in them, they are only trained in science medicine.......I put no faith in what my MD's say about herbs because it is not in their wealth of knowledge. lexapro@...: alexdavisriley@...: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 17:28:00 -0800Subject: RE: Hi, new here how long did you get good results with the st.john's wort before it stopped working? glad you are feeling better!
