Lexapro: 37 days
I have not written in two weeks. I had laptop problems.
First, I want to thank (again) Aunty and Bodyelectric, you guys have helped me thru a very difficult time in my life. This forum is a God send!
I am feeling great
After a month off lexapro, the brain zaps are all gone and have better control of my reactions/emotions. I am full of energy and able to multi-task again. I have the clarity of mind and focus to work on financial tasks that I could not handle before. Getting off Lexapro after 3.5 years was the best decision I have ever made. THANK YOU to all of you for your support and advice.
As far as the vitamins/supps - I swear by them:
(1) Vitamins n Minerals
(2)Omega 3-6-9 Borage/Fish/Flax
(3) 5 HTP - (as Bodyelectric said - can't take 5 HTP unless you've been completely of any SSRI for at least 2 weeks)
(4) Milk of Magnesia (thanks Aunty!). For me, the combination of taking all these supplements PLUS being part of this forum - helped me get where I am today. As far as weight, I have lost 5 pounds
Yoga, like any other exercise activity, helps me deal with whatever life throws at me. I just sweat it off!!
