Days free of Lexapro: 37 days

That is great, TrishCA! I hope to be where you are at some point.
I've been taking Lex for 2 yrs - was at 10 mg then up to 20 mg after a couple months. Prescribed by my GP for anxiety. I no longer have health insurance, so the weaning off Lex started a week ago. I'm at 15 mg for the 6th day. So far, I do feel a slight headache each day.
I've been taking Omega 3 Fish Oil (1200 mg) the last several months - but do not like the taste/breath from that. I am thinking of adding vitamins after reading the posts here.
My weight has increased about 40 lbs this last year, I thought it was due to a
thyroid mass, but after I had surgery to remove the thyroid and its cancer, and have been on
Synthroid, there is no change. And I feel less puzzled by all these things with my body since reading this forum. The last two years, I felt in a bit of a fog, and a friend said it was getting older (I'm in my 30s)
. It was a noticeable change to me as I've always had excellent attention to detail and memory. I do feel like it affected my job, which my position was "eliminated" (after a couple yrs) this past April - but one of my bosses had said I was not focused as they needed me to be. I had a hard time understanding that feedback, as it had never been an issue.
I'll look forward to the postings here.
