Also, 3 weeks seems like not enough time for an anti-D to start working. I'm on Pristiq and it took a solid 2 months to bring me out of the cave. I had lost 20 pounds from not eating. I went to all these doctors thinking I had cancer or something because I didn't realize that I had stopped eating. Then I started crying all the time, every day just crying and crying. Then one day I was crying in a doctor's office and he gave me Pristiq samples. It was afterwards that I put it all together. And gained the weight back, which I'm actually happy about even though I'm bigger than some people might like to be. Top end of healthy range.

5 mg of lexapro is barely a therapeutic amount. Was this a psychiatrist or PCP?

Thanks PP. Just started with a new therapist who seems really good and I do have a psychiatrist prescribing the drugs. Right now I am taking 5 mg Lexapro to see what that does, then I am supposed to check back with him.

I am not working out except for PT. I am recovering from ortho surgery. So no, it isn't good. I'm just not eating.

Thanks for your kind words and the reality check. Among other issues, DH is obsessed with working out and what he weighs, so I have let that affect me too much. He talks and thinks about it constantly. I worry about our girls because he talks about this stuff all the time and his sister was anorexic. I have been pretty vigilant about making sure he doesn't discuss their weight with them at all (they are both thin anyway). But that is a topic for some other time.

Thanks again. We'll start with getting me healthy first and go from there.
