I thought I was getting better. I’m fighting so hard. I’m on meds now but all I feel is sick and spacey. Why can’t I find the strength to end my life? I’m so lost.
Meds are all about trial and error. While some make you feel better emotionally, their physical side effects may not be compatible with your body. Others may not bother you physically, but may deeply depress or anger you. Sometimes it feels like the end of the world. This happens to everybody, and is one of the challenges of healing. Try talking to your doctor about your reaction to the meds. Medication that makes you feel sick and spacey is not the right medication. There are many out there, so ask your doctor about changing medication. Good luck.
I intentionally picked lexapro because it wasn’t too bad in the past. This is my fourth rodeo (lame phrase alert haha) so I know there’s supposed to be an adjustment. It’s been quite terrible this time I must say. Sadly I just posted to rant, it’s just one of those nights, you know?
Just started last week. It’s my second stint on lexapro and fourth on meds overall. I know it’s about a two week adjustment period but this is the worst I’ve ever felt on them.

How long have you been on your med regime?
