I took myself off my Lexapro about two weeks ago. I did it without my doctor's permission, because I figured she'd disagree with me and tell me no. I really felt for quite sometime that it really wasn't doing anything for me. I didn't do it all at once, I reduced that amount gradually. I've gone off meds before, I knew how to stop and knew if I stopped cold turkey, I'd go crazy.
So far, I really can't tell a difference. I've been twitchy and shaky. I didn't think I experienced any sexual side affects but since being off of it, its better.
I'm not feeling any increased depression. I've been angrier lately but maybe thats because I'm surrounded by stupid people.
I went to RC today to visit Mrs. Humy for her birthday. I miss highschool! And that makes me feel like a nerd. I miss the one on one attention and the potential to develop a relationship and a connection with a teacher. There are too many people at RVC so I'm lucky if a teacher can remember my name, let alone my personality.
