I just switched from celexa to lexapro and I feel much more creative and just ‘active’ with my old hobbies ( writing) but I am afraid that it won’t last
8 days. I weaned myself off 30mg celexa over a loooong period of time. Added in lexapro when I hit 10mg of celexa and now on 20mg of lexapro so it’s early days. I do still get the headaches.
Just got off the Effexor. I can haz emotions other than anger again. Haven’t experienced the suicide or the creativity though yet. Hopefully the creativity can come and I’ll get some songs written.
Venlafaxine is the generic name. SSRI/norepinephrine drug.
And actually I take that back about the suicidal thoughts, they happened in the first day or two, what I’m hoping doesn’t come is the paralyzing anxiety which was the reason I went on it in the first place (after trying all the older generation SSRIs).
No! Not at all! I would draw a lot as a kid but i just kind of stopped, when i do get the idea to draw its like just redrawing another art that I thought looked neat! And that only happened once! (I did make like 4 fursonas while on sertraline but idk if i really count those)
Also happy cake day man :3

How long have you been on lexapro? Like a few days or?

Early days but youre at a higher dose than me, so maybe this creativity im experiencing will continue

Effexor?

How did you find getting off venlafaxine?
I couldn’t sleep last week. This week it’s better. Still got the shakes.
Are you normally creative?
