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& #39;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& #39;t hurt at ALL, and proceeded to repeatedly try and fail to feel my pulse for a good hour
anyway I& #39;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& #39; slurp o& #39; noodle, I felt
nothing tbh
and started to feel nauseous a few mins laterrrrrr
