So I know I get alot of answers but sometimes I feel I need more and more positive ones. So I took 10mg Lexapro for 7 days and lorazepam for 9 days. Went off them do to horrible thoughts like self harm or harming others. But anyways so I've been off Lexapro for 14 days and lorazepam for 10 days. I've heard it can have alot to do with the gaba receptors and glutamate receptors from the drugs. Ive definitely gotten a little better from when I first took them and I notice when I keep my self busy or look forward to something I feel better. And when these thoughts do come on it comes with a warming sensation. Anyone else get something like this from a short time taking them
Brandon, I didn’t have this experience when tapering klonopin (.5mg) but I stayed on the lexapro and after 5 weeks I was myself again. Mostly I want to recommend a great book I am reading that you might also find helpful. My therapist recommended it. It is called “Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts.” It really helped me understand how I can better respond to my anxious thoughts. Hope this helps!
