Can we talk about specific meds here? If so, can people tell me what they've taken and what the side effects were? I started Lexapro 10 mg for depression two weeks ago and it triggered horrible anxiety with CTB thoughts. I've read that that's a common side effect at first so I've been trying to stick it out. I don't want to tell the health care provider about it because I don't want to end up getting committed or something. I only talked with the provider by zoom a couple of times, so it's not as thought they know me.
I started Vyvanse 10mg for ADHD about a week ago (because the script took a little longer to get). It spiked my anxiety even further, so I only took it twice.
I've been on Lexapro for a little over two weeks now. The anxiety still comes and goes in waves. I've lost a lot of weight because I can't eat. I've gotten really sleepy the past couple of days. The CTB thoughts are not as bad, but I've been doing other things to help with them.
Is this typical for Lexapro and should I continue to stick it out? Have people had better luck with other antidepressants or ADHD meds? I definitely have problems with depression and ADHD issues like trouble focusing and staying organized. I'm also in general a nervous/anxious person when stressed. I'd like to treat those issues, but not if it means this level of anxiety. I'd appreciate anything people can tell me.
