lighthearted twitter thread about my first day on anxiety medication (lexapro) because it looks like I might be stuck in bed all day and we all need a little humor in our lives

I got up and popped 5 mg lexapro around 10 am today. Normal adult dose is 10 mg, but historically I've needed to take childrens dosages of meds because I am tiny. so the psychiatrist let me start with 5mg.

related fun fact, I accidentally overdosed on tylenol once by taking a normal adult dose of cold medicine. While asleep, I banged my knee on the wall at 3 am, woke up, realized it didn't hurt at ALL, and proceeded to repeatedly try and fail to feel my pulse for a good hour

anyway I've established how sensitive my flesh vessel is to meds. Within a couple hours I was already feeling kind of weird (numb? empty? loopy?) and a little down, but then I made some delicious soup noodles

I love food! Usually food helps me feel better! and upon getting a good ol' slurp o' noodle, I felt

nothing tbh

and started to feel nauseous a few mins laterrrrrr

I crawled back into bed and whined at my boyfriend, it's now around 1:30 pm and I'm writing this thread and having the time of my life

main thing I'm bummed about is not being able to doodle cute men in dresses all day tbh, but I'll live, I guess
