I was originally placed on it for anxiety. After the first two weeks of feeling better with a little nausea, I felt like a million dollars! I was happy and jumpy and it was something no one was use to seeing from me. I do not know how many people told me they noticed a big change. I have been on it since September, and up until maybe the middle of February I have felt okay. January started a little down hill but I just thought it was stress. The doc gave me an SR and I never took it...I''m 22 and I drink a glass or two of wine every three months, just a little treat to myself with a friend and we watch a movie. I''ve only drank a glass of wine and a Smirnoff on two different occasions on the Lexipro. I didn''t know you couldn''t drink with the SR, and just seeing that on the bottle I was thinking no, yet I haven''t touched a glass of wine since January, before the SR thing came along.
I use to be so OCD about attenting my college classes, doing homework, studying and getting things done and very rarely saying "Screw it!" But here since around spring break I have had absolutally no motivation. I also do not want to get up out of bed or go to bed. I would just like to sit in bed and pet my cat or play with my guinea pigs and do nothing. I don''t even enjoy getting ready to go out with my fiance anymore and I use to be really into looking nice, and needless to say I have let myself go a little. I don''t want to clean anymore, I don''t want to do laundry or anything. I stopped taking it four days ago, and today was the first day I wanted to clean my room or do laundry.
Does this sound like depression?
