I take 20mg of Lexapro and 300mg of Wellbutrin daily and now that summertime is around I would like to
start getting my FL tan back. I was never given any warnings with either medication and the sun. Does
anyone have information or have had and side effects with sunbathing and either one of these medications? I
am light skinned (natural blonde/blue eyes) so my skin is somewhat sensitive to begin with. I really miss my
tan, but I don't want any type of markings or blotches on my skin. Thanks in advance.

hi there okpolosi,

water retention!..... okay, that i can understand .... i can drink 8 pounds of water in a weekend .... make that, i SHOULD drink 8 pounds of water in a weekend (!), since a gallon weighs about 6 pounds.... and these days it seems we are supposed to drink lots and lots of water.

a point i wanted to make (and i don't think i did) is that science is just recently discovering the therapeutic benefits of some specific carbohydrates and therapies from these disoveries are now being developed.

i have extrapolated from this news that we may be subconsciously compensating our neurotranmitter imbalances by trying to use carbs on our inter-synaptic environments ..... maybe .... maybe not.

another 'nutrient' to promote is water .... i suspect that dehydration is worse for the neurotransmitters than it is for our muscles or our digestion, if only because the healthy electrolyte balance has to have a greater impact on our neurotransmitters ..... that and i tend to not drink water unless i make myself, especially when i get my lex SEs.

enough about me.... how are you doing?

take care !!
~ jim

Hi there, I live in the sunshine state and have noticed nothing different with my skin when being in the sun. I also have blue eyes, blonde hair, but more dark complexion than you. Just use your sun screens and stay out for short times to see what happens. I live an hour from the beach and have not gotten the nerve to drive that far yet. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Just started Lexapro today

In reply to Anyone switched to Lexapro? « ggrrl, posted by Dr. Bob on June 11, 2002, at 7:52:48

I just switch to Lexapro from Celexa. I was on 40 mg of Celexa and I went to 10 mg of Lexapro. How long do you figure it will take to see a difference? And what differences have you felt?

I used to live about 15 minutes from the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, but moved to the Orlando area the beginning of the year and now I am about 1 to 1-1/2 hours from the beach also. I keep saying I am going to drive over there but may have to settle for the pool :-(. The pool just keeps the kids confined to closely to me LOL.

Well, I have only two years until my son is out of high school and thinking about becoming a beach bum full time by moving in with grandma in the Keys. Free rent, can't beat that. Not to mention starting life as a beach bum just shy of 36 isn't too bad either LOL.

Hi Jim,

Awww! See, you really are cool, despite what your little guy says!! "Silly", "Cool"....all the same to a 4 y.o I'd say!! Thanks for your nice posting...

Yes, I am much happier, it gets better each day with the Lexapro and, barring any sudden poundage, I think it's working!! My kids and husband say I'm much happier, seem more relaxed, so I think that's probably the most objective proof for me!

Thanks again, keep being silly, we need more of that in the world....!!

If there is any interest out there, as an Ohio "girl", I would be glad to take part in any experiment conducted near any beach (must have snorkeling) anywhere, to see if it helps the depression or not! (grin)
You are such a fun and fine bunch of people and I so much enjoy coming to this board. I do not post much as often the energy is not there, but I have to say too, that it has been soooo gooood to watch people like Wayne (blkvettes) and L'il Jimi and Luzaluna and the rest get good results from the Lexapro. Even those who have not been as fortunate have come away better informed about their options and have been supported through the SE's.
Keep up the good work.

Hi, its very hard to pass up free rent no matter where it is. The beach is the most beautiful place on earth to me. At night when it is quiet, the waves crashing on the shore. The stars are so bright!!!!! Its not to bad in the daytime either!!!!!!

You should go to the website Seacamp.org. It is a marine institute during the year, but the summertime it is a summer camp. Was a camper there for many years. Where I plan to work and have a "job" that consist of nothing but snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, etc. My dream job LOL. Just a few years away :-)

Yes, its a good beach as far as I remember. I went there as a kid and have fond memories!!!! My opinion Daytona is the best, but others will disagree. They are all pretty good beaches here. My wife works at Disney. I hope you have a safe and most of all HAPPY trip!!!!!!!!

Thanks blkvettes, I am hoping my energy picks up a little for the trip. I will have my two kids with me and we are planning alot of activities. I just upped my lex from 10mg to 15mg and seem to have more energy. For two weeks on 10mg I had alot of energy, then it went away. I hope it lasts with the 15mg. No more panic attacks though.

hi luziluna!

you have just come up with our new slogan for our new lexapro marketing campaign commercial!

see we shoot a series of positive testimonials from our posters about, "Why Lexapro has been Good for Me!" ... so we'll have wayne and okpolosi and we'll have to get bill l. and you and dc and ohio girl oldhand and dysfunk and handmemymidol and leeran and sussus and bridgette k. and donia and newuser20 and ayuda and brandij and shoff and valerie and egr and mkvelocity and vandy and bearded lady ... and we can interview each of us at home, see .... and then we would <special effects> converge on oldhand's in ohio and from there we would <special effects> swoop down to the beaches at wayne's and dc's and settle into our tropical lexapro palm treed paradise of sand. sunset and samba .......

all i got to do is go get forest labs to hire me as director for lexapro marketing and then ......

two weaknesses in my little dream-world:
1) i am not experienced nor qualified for the job;
2) we should doubt that lex is for everyone, but ....

At Least We Can Dream!!

you are so sweet ... okay, If we can define 'cool' as being a loving father and husband, Then i am guilty as charged .... but i am realy silly too!

> Yes, I am much happier, it gets better each day with the Lexapro and, barring any sudden poundage, I think it's working!! My kids and husband say I'm much happier, seem more relaxed, so I think that's probably the most objective proof for me!

well, this is another Great post! .... this makes Me happy! ... thank you.
and i agree that our families are great barometers of our emotional well-being.

> Thanks again, keep being silly, we need more of that in the world....!!

> Thanks blkvettes, I am hoping my energy picks up a little for the trip. I will have my two kids with me and we are planning alot of activities. I just upped my lex from 10mg to 15mg and seem to have more energy. For two weeks on 10mg I had alot of energy, then it went away. I hope it lasts with the 15mg. No more panic attacks though.


Hi there, I know it is hard and glad the panic attacks have stayed away. I have had them to!!!!! I went to a wedding this past weekend and was very scared to go with 150 people there. But I did great with minor anxiety. I was proud of myself. Have you got tickets for Disney. Email if you want to hear of a great deal, like free!!!!
