> I thought they were behind me to. Maybe I should ask my doc about dosage? Who knows. I've got a follow up appt. with doc July 1 so I will hang in there and see what happens. Lately I also wake up extremely tired with headaches, but I could also still be having some discontinuing effects from Paxil, since I started 10mg Lexapro the day after me last "weaning" dose of Paxil.
Yes diffinitely ask about increase in dosage when you see Doc, I did and it really helped. The tiredness and headaches - very possibly from withdrawl/Paxil. But just a question, been eating "sugar" recently? I did get headaches from eating sugary desserts until I reached that 9 week point, now my headaches have gone.
Tiredness also seemed to be a problem for me back then....I can remember not having any energy at work and getting extremely fatigued. I no longer have this problem either, in fact I have gone the other way and seem to be hyper and full of energy to the point that my husband commented, annoyed, "You act like you're on speed!".
Hope you continue to improve! Best of Luck~~~8|8
