For a while I was taking only 5mg of lexapro daily. I was okay with this dosage for a year or longer. Then I felt that my medication wasn’t working as well because I was starting to get anxious again and not feel myself. Well, I increased my dosage to 10mg and BOY am I feeling awful. Between horrible bouts of extreme anxiety, shaking, dizziness/disorientation, nausea and diarrhea as well as bad dreams every night, I feel as though i’m living in an actual nightmare. My depth perception is off so when i’m looking around things just seem “unbalanced”(not sure how to describe it). I have 5mg ativan I can as needed but i’m trying not to take it as much though sometimes I must to get an ounce of relief. Anyways this is day 5 I think since my dosage increase? 2 or 3 more weeks of this is going to be torture but hopefully I will start feeling better sooner. Last time I went through this I woke up one morning feeling great and like myself again. It just took WEEKS to get to that point. I just don’t know how i’m going to survive these next weeks. I feel uncomfortable outside not to mention in my own home. I stare at my phone or a book or something to distract myself but when I look up I feel so off. I can’t hardly even look at myself in the mirror without feeling super weird and disoriented. Also what’s weird is some times in the day i’ll be feeling ok and then BAM sick. Like in the morning i’m doing terrible then by later in the day I may be able to get a little active but soon after i’m ready to curl into a ball and start rocking back and forth. Just having a very hard time. I also live with my bf and I don’t want to be like this around him. Ik he understands but I hate to be like this around him. So on top  of everything else there’s that. Please pray for me or offer some words of encouragement or tips. Might help to hear some similar experiences and know that I WILL get through this. Thankyou so much for reading.
