So I take a medication called Lexapro, and recently I had to take more of it because of how crazy my job is making me. Or rather how crazily anxious my job is making me. So once I quit, I decided it would be a good idea to go back to my regular dosage.

looks like that was a bad idea because I’ve been having dizziness and flu like symptoms and just generally feeling bad for the past few days. At first I thought maybe it was diabetic symptoms, maybe I was getting sick, or something else… But once I looked up this with drawl symptoms for Lexapro I realized it was probably that. My stomach has been messed up, I’m tired, feel like I got hit by a bus, but then I also feel slightly flush, and my throat has been hurting quite a bit. So basically everything that it was mentioned on the withdrawals that I looked up.

And I’m fairly certain it was that because I was feeling very bad, but then I took the medicine for the day at my normal dose and I’m already starting to feel a little better. So I’m thinking it’s that.

I thought that I was maybe even super dehydrated or had some kind of food poisoning, so I’ve been sucking down Gatorade for two days and even that didn’t seem to do much. So I’m fairly certain it’s the meds. Please pray that this withdrawal season ends soon so that I can go back to looking for work.

Perhaps it would be best to skip the meds altogether under the guidance of a physician as it doesn't seem to help you regardless of your current circumstances.

how often our species relies on 'pharmika (curse) - it's like accepting that poison can make another poison help
you get better!!! hub and I don't even want to share how many of those whom we have loved so much chose to
ingest-eat, add to the poison to treat what was already killing them, instead of doing common research for alternatives...
heart-breaking to say the least, especially since many of them were in their (40's-50's-60's) (even 20's & 30"s)

ever look or research 'whose ways and stats' are winning the 'killing-game'?

how many family and friends chose 'pharmika' and died within such a short amount of time
after incredible suffering???

read your Bibles, God hasn't left anything out...

yet, the curse to trust in those who take an oath to a 'serpent', continue to beguile in their deceit and ignorance!

God has given each and every one of us the ability and intelligence to read and learn from His Holy teaching on
the ways of healing even after our disobedience to Him and were 'cast-out' - He didn't forsake us, He does and will always
stand by the knowledge that He has blessed us with; it's up to us as individuals to take or reject His Holy ways...

not saying that our Saviour hasn't relayed His gifts to certain ones who love and serve Him, but I do know,
that they are 'few and far between'...

I’m sorry to hear about your situation, ArtieSteph. I’m praying that God will touch you with His healing hand and fill you with His strength. May He bless your medication, provide comfort and guidance as you trust in Him.
