Hey so if you've been on an SSRI (or a couple different ones) for more than a year and you've recently developed chronic pain or worsening chronic pain (that doesn't seem like there's a real reason for it) PLEASE talk to your doctor about the rare side effects of the ssris you're on or have been on, because "muscles aches and pains" is a rare side effect and the likelihood of you experiencing a rare side effect goes up the more time you're on the SSRI.

And yeah it sounds silly "oh my muscles are sore" no I'm talking muscle spasms and tightness. I was on ssris for the past 5 years (3 years of wellbutrin at the end) and had to start taking muscle relaxers because my back and hips were so painfully tight the muscles were literally injuring my ligaments and shit, but I stopped Wellbutrin and suddenly I barely need my muscle relaxers.

I'm fucking serious, I just thought there was something else going on hearing about all of these depressed and mentally ill people having chronic pain, turns out ssris can give you chronic pain.

Please talk to your doctor and read the warnings on your ssris carefully or at least keep this in mind if you choose not to. My chronic pain induced by ssris made my mental illnesses worse because I couldn't fucking exist without pain.

does anyone who takes lexapro/escitalopram know if withdrawals can cause low blood pressure and if so what to do to raise it?

i didn’t have my medicine for a week or so and i’m pretty sure my blood pressure is super low cause i’ve had a lot of the symptoms. got my medicine now but i kinda need to not feel like i don’t have enough blood in my body like kinda soon maybe

I am so happy that I started escitalopram (generic Lexapro.) I know people's experiences with mental health and medication are complex and medication doesn't work for many people (or the side effects are too harsh), but it has truly changed my life. For the first 5ish weeks I didn't notice much except for slight side effects (sleepiness & dry mouth), but now that I'm 9? weeks in I feel happier in so many ways. I firmly believed that my body was a torture chamber and that being alive was a terrible tribulation that everyone was forced to endure unless they were rich and/or lucky. After some additional life changes and more effort, for the first time in years, I am not constantly obsessing over my health, relationships, academics, success, etc. Going on medication shouldn't be taken lightly and it is not a quick fix, but I want to share a positive experience for anyone who has researched medication and is anxious about trying it.
