hi guys,
I'm feeling really horrible this past week. I've been tapering down on my Lexapro (from 20-10 mg/day) and everything sucks.I have the worst stomach pains and diarrhea (withdrawal efx? Stomach flu?), my head aches, my EYE hurts (what is up with that -- am I going blind?), my body hurts, I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I'm starting to feel anxious again.
I asked my husband if he thought my diarrhea meant that I had stomach cancer or bowel cancer, and that my eye pain meant that I have some kind of blinding disease. He got this very weary look on his face (this "OH, no, here we go again,") kind of look, but was able to keep his voice steady and calm as he explained that I don't have cancer. (But how does he know?)
I hate being on the medicine, I hate coming off of it, and I hate being anxious. Why does my body have an anxiety issue?
aaarrrggghhh. I just feel so - crappy. So very, very crappy.
