This was my most serious/planned out attempt yet, thought I'd post what happened for reference if anyone else is considering lexapro.
I've heard how difficult it is to OD on lexapro, but that's what's most easily available to me, and I was hoping that if I took an absurd amount it would do something. I saved up my prescription for 3 months (it's 40mg for reference), then took a bottle a day for 3 days, trying to give myself serotonin syndrome. I also took about a dozen 30mg Vyvanse pills on the last day. The hope for the last day was that I'd have a heart attack or something before my husband got home. I took everything at 8am.
After a few hours I was seriously tripping out: having full on hallucinations, body was vibrating violently, sweating constantly, and having heart palpitations. Despite how fucked it made me feel physically, mentally I felt great the whole time. I started to get nervous when I was still conscious around 3pm, and my husband got home at 4:30 and took me to the ER- he didn't know I had been taking the pills, so I came up with a cover story about accidentally taking a double dose that morning.
Had a panic attack in the ER waiting room where I swear my soul was getting ripped out of my body.
they ran a bunch of tests and kept checking my vitals, and I literally couldn't believe it when they said everything looked fine, apparently lexapro really is as difficult to OD on as they say lmao.
Any way, I think that might have been the last attempt for me, like I said I was really tripping out and feel like I had some revelations about things lmao. We'll see. Thanks for reading!
