They are only too happy to push the job onto you.

LAZY. As for the meds, I really hope that Lexapro works for you. I stopped taking Welbutrin because I felt like it was making me feel all wonky, but I still take the Effexor (which I have no idea if it really works or not). I can bet that you are probably having a bit of depression, since it can be caused by anxiety (like mine). Big hugs, and I hope that you are feeling better soon. We struggle on together!

I didn't notice any nausea. The only side effect I noticed was that the first few days I was really, really jittery and wired (kinda like drinking 4 cups of coffee more than you're used to) but that subsided within about 4 or 5 days. I can't say that the Lexapro worked for me but, then again, the anxiety did dissipate. Good luck, Amber. I know this stuff isn't any fun.
