I ran out of my Lexapro on Sunday. I am not able to afford my refil until I get paid on Friday. I wonder how long it takes to start to feel the effects of *NOT* having the Lexapro in my system. I am feeling kind-of woosie and am more tearful today than I have been lately. Not sure if they are related, but Dr F did say that Lexapro does work in

This is what I know about SSRIs - it's a bad idea to go through cold turkey withdrawal from them. Can you ask your phamacist or your doctor to front you a few pills until Friday? I have had luck with that for other prescriptions in other situations. Most physicians have samples out the wazoo and will happily give them out to patients.

Seriously, do what you need to do to get your meds. You really don't want to end up stabbing yourself.

I have a call in to her now, and am hoping she has them.

If I haven't hurt myself before now, I seriously doubt I will, but it is still a weird feeling that I went through life like this for so long and didn't realize it.

Thanks for caring.

By the way, I am so happy that you have found such a wonderful man to partner your life with. I see the joy in your posts and it makes me very happy for you. You deserve the best!

Love you too. I have insurance, it's just that I am flat broke until payday, so can't even afford the copay.

Dr. F was able to get me samples to tide me over, so I should be good.

Thanks for caring!
