Q: Little Scared to Medication!

asked by: gabriel_409 on April 3rd, 2007

I just started taking Lexapro last week and it is already helping a little bit. But it seems like I am more stressed in the morning and start feeling better in the afternoon. Is this how it starts working in some people? I have some Xanax too and sometimes take a half when I feel like I need. I'm hoping there are some people who DON'T have a really bad experience getting off of it. Is there anyone who did not have a lot of problems? I had a bad experience with Zoloft so I was scared to start another drug. Any advice?
Please help!

Re: Little Scared to Medication!

You should look for natural treatment of asthma. I read a book called asthma free naturally as written by Patrick McKeown. That this book is available online and details the Buteyko breathing method for asthma. He teaches Buteyko Breathing Clinic and many other methods. Have a look at www.asthmacare.ie You would surely be benefited.

Drugs/meds...

Drugs and meds can be a scary thing. First off, dependency can start -- horrific side effects, etc.

Great, so you take a pill to stop a certain something -- but oh wait, all of this other garbage happens and you are even a bigger mess than when you started the MEDS!!! It is an awful cycle!!!

Check out diet recommendations and other advice about changing different facets of your life...

Also, check out some supplements --

GOOD LUCK and good questions!
