Hi koko, how you hanging in there? Don't expect the SE!! LOL try not to anyway. I always worried about the side effects a lot. I was scared to start this Lexapro because it was a med I had never been on before. It turned out, I didn't die, and it seems to be doing great so far (crossing fingers)
Breathe in............out...............in.........out:-)
Hang in there and keep us posted.> OK, I think I'm getting the hang of this now...
> I'm sitting here trying to decide if I should take another 10 mg and get the SE's done and over with or if I should go down to 5. And how would I carve out 7.5? Cut in half and then again in another half? My concern, which Lil Jim touched on, is what if I avoid the SE's now just to experince them in another month or 2...what to do, what to do...? Avoidence doesn't normally work well for me. Then I'll just fixate on the SE's that are waiting for me later on when I go back to 10mg, which will create anxiety for the future, which in turn will make me question if the SE's at 5 mg are any better or not, and then I'll doubt the whole cutting down to begin with, and maybe panic about that...Hum....
