Not bad, I'm on 5 mg, but am increasing to 10 tomorrow, did you start at 10mg, or did you start at a lower dose? If so, did you feel a difference?
Hope you are well!!
i started on 10mg..how do you feel on 5mg...i was told that you always start on 10mg..do you have any symtoms at all?
Just a bit of nausea, taking a bit of Ativan to help with the symptoms, so far, I think it's going to work though...haven't had much of an appetite...I'm on 10 mg now too. Lets hope for the best. It's my 25th birthday this weekend, and I can't drink!!! Had to cancel a huge party, so that's kind of a bummer. What about you, how are you coping?
are you taking ativan for the symtoms of nausea?
yes the appetite for me isnt quite as good as it could be...hehe i could stand to loose a couple pounds anywaysoh HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! we are only a year apart
have a great day
I'm taking a half a miligram in the morning and at night, just to relax, I need to get off of it...You're fine just with the Cipralex, that's so great. I'm going to try and get off of the Ativan. I quit smoking 4 mths ago, and have recently started smoking b/c of the stress of this anxiety, can you wear the patch with Cipralex? BTW, the patch is the greatest thing in the world, it really really helps you to quit smoking (not that I should talk right now
Take care, have a good weekend. Keep me posted.
i am still very nervous though
i go to the doc end of this week to let him know how im doing and all that....I dont know if you can wear a patch and take cipralex, i cant see why not but i may look into that as well
are you still taking ativan, do you take it just int he morning and night or when you are having an attack?
have a great day
Hi Lindsay, I take a quarter of a miligram in the morning (which I'm trying to ween off of), and a half a miligram at night. My doc reccomended this to me, as it takes the edge off of the side effects of the medications. Ativan is addictive, I've been taking it for about a month now like mentioned above. It really helps me. My dosage of Cipralex has been increased from 10mg to 15, and I'm going to stay at 15mg for a while (another reccomendation from my doc) - apparently the more cipralex you take, the better it works...I really wanted to stay at 10mg, but my doc said that the medication won't have a full effect at that dosage, so I'm now about 3 days in on 15mg with the help of Ativan. I feel ok, better than I did a month ago, that's for sure. How is your stuff going? Thanks for your support btw, it's helped me big time. Let me know what's going on with you!
PS.
Is the nervousness caused by the cipralex, do you feel more nervous on cipralex than you did? I know it does take a while to get used to.
