I've taken Lexapro a couple of times, and I don't think I ever felt anything. If it made me less anxious, it wasn't noticeable.

The new teacup china cabinet is here! It was only a half hour late this morning, and it is gorgeous.

The meeting with the diabetic counselor went okay. She wants me to exercise more, which no one else had mentioned to me up until now, and she said if I need to have a small cheat it should be with my afternoon snack because my afternoon and evening numbers are always good.

Back in the day when I took Zoloft, as soon as it went generic and my insurance switched me to generic, I had an allergic reaction. This is generic Lexapro, so it's entirely possible that it's just the generic formulation fucking with me.

We could try the brand name (which will be ridiculously expensive), but I'm not sure I want to even be on an SSRI, so I don't know what I want to tell my doctor. Will ponder.

Teppy, I'm sorry the medication is treating you badly.

I'm like, side effect girl--feeling your pain, tep. I have nightmares about Tim's thing, though, on a surprisingly frequent basis. Except I'm always somewhere trying be cool, and bang, either a filling or some teeth pop out. Then, of course, I have to talk to my(fake) in-laws or my pretend snooty boss. The stress feels real, though.

He's surprisingly calm for a dang tooth just breaking off while he ate a banana. Though he might be freaking out internally and not telling me, because of the whole Anxiety Level Code Red dealie earlier this week.

It's so annoying.

Tim might want to pick up one of those emergency dental kits from the drugstore. With one of those, he can either temporarily glue the tooth back in or make an emergency filling.

Good idea -- I'll mention that to him. Thanks!

Feel better, peeps! You have all my sympathies, especially those with anxiety and depression. I had my doctor up my Lamictal a few weeks ago and fortunately it's working for me. I've been able to get my anxiety under control between that and a good therapist. Considering I had been letting it fester for close to six months, it really makes a difference in my outlook on life.

Ginger, I did not even know they had emergency dental kits. There's a couple of times I definitely could have used one.

Tep, I have problems with generics, also. One of my doctors switched me from name brand Lamictal to generic Lamotrigine and it sent me all out of whack. And that shit ain't cheap, but I've got very good health insurance that mitigates it.

I'm feeling a lot better. I think I only have 2 weeks of the outpatient therapy. I was supposed to call HR yesterday and totally didn't so I have to do that Monday. I'm only going next week 3 days.

I did yard work instead of going for a walk. I'm cleaning my house little by little. I think that means the new meds are working.

There's a Home and Garden Expo I thought about going to but then looked at the vendors and realized it wasn't what I thought.

Also on youtube I found this evening yoga work out that used to be on Exercise.tv. Meaghan Townshend PM yoga. Ten minutes, very gentle and I'm adding that to my bedtime routine. My hips have been really sore and tight and the stretching helped, I realized how inflexible I've become but I was the same way when I started it last time.

Tep, I can't remember when you're going to be in VT but I'd still love to get together; however, if trying to add that in will be too overwhelming I totally understand.
