>Thank you all for listening and your kind support..i lost my dad a
few months ago and then had my uncle and aunt and come and live with me for 6 months..Its a culture thing and there's alot of responsibility to take care fo their every need..i have 2 little kids who are my first priority and so on and so forth. Def i fely my stress levels going so high that i would cry for no reason and get stressed for every little thing, my body cudn't handle stress atall..i developed tachychardia which i had ablated years ago and that depressed me further so i started losing wt coz i dont feel hungry but force myself to eat.Doctor said i'm depressed coz now i feel anxious so many time sin aday, like a wave just washes over me and leaves me shivering and more anxious.
The PD charges 350-400 and i dont wanna go and my doc prescribed lexapro 5 mg and said i can take 2.5 mg to begin with. If i take 1.25, will itgive me side effects coz i'm very nervous already..shud i slowly incraese my dose..
Thank you each and everyone of you for your response..its very much appreciated..i dont know who to turn to and i'm so sad right now..:((
