is0lati0n Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Right, well... I'm new. Big surprise, I know. I've only recently come to terms with the fact that I'm ever so slightly bonkers, and this seems like a great place to get to know my new-found facet and show it around. In fact, only today was I prescribed my first med (Lexapro, for those playing at home). I've got no idea what to expect, but I've got high hopes. My particular brand of crazy includes depression, anxiety, insomnia, self injury and EDNOS, with a side of social phobia for good measure. Oh, and massively raging PMS. As for me, I'm a 20-something perpetual student with a smart mouth and one hell of an attitude, mainly because I never know what to say and don't like letting people get too close. Underneath it all, I'm a soft touch and a bit of a sweetheart, if I do say so myself. So, here I am. Hello Crazy Boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancesintherain Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Glad to meet you and glad you found CB when starting to cope with a newly found version of mental interestingness. It can be a great resource and source of support. With enough snarkiness to not make you feel like you're living in a touchy feely hug land. take care and it'll be good to see you around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duelist Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Welcome to CB! Glad you found us, I've never taken Lexapro, but I have taken all kinds of anti-depressants. Hope you like it here, I am new from June but definitely found a second home here among the crazy folks at CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi is0.... I thought I'd share my experience with Lexapro. I've been on 15mg for 2-3 months, and it has worked miracles for me in the PMS department; in fact, I didn't even see it coming this month. I hope it works as well for you. xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
is0lati0n Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Autumn, I can only hope it does the same for me - I'm getting tired of becoming a hormonal wreck every month, haha. Thanks for the welcome, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

is0lati0n Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Mckey, best of luck with the Lamictal. With stuff like this, all you can really do is hope that it works, so fingers crossed. Mudpuppy, thank you. I do try to have a way with words.
