hey there,
well, MarkinIdaho always seems to be the one I'm waiting to hear from since he's our resident expert, but yeah, I walk around like I'm on eggshells trying not to jolt myself or hit my head. have done a little of both, but mostly just have gotten good at moving like i'm 95 yrs old.
I'm on day 10 of lexapro...glad to hear it's helped you. how long until you felt some relief? i'm not a total anxious basket case unless i'm suffering a setback, but things that used to not phase me now do...and i wonder how much of me holding back is due to anxiety vs. real symptoms now.
lexapro seems to be making my headaches and jaw grinding (sooo sexy) worse thus far. curious about your experience.
hang in there. my advice is move through the world like you're 95, then gradually 94, 93, 92, and so on. We will slowly work our way back to youth.

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
