As I mentioned in my previous post, I took 25 mg of Lexapro for the past two days, and now I’m down to 20 mg as of this morning. Last week’s anxiety has dwindled, but I am feeling pretty lethargic and a little bit down. I think that’s somewhat a result of allergies and my period, though.
I also went to my gynecologist yesterday, and my woman parts are all fine and dandy (with results from my pap smear pending). I’ve been spotting since Saturday, and today my full-blown period started, so I was definitely PMS/DDing last week (and probably the week before, since my period was more than 10 days late). My gyno said that the irregularity of my period, even though I’m on Loestrin 24 Fe, is not a cause for concern. He said that some people are regularly irregular, and while he could switch my pill again, I shouldn’t be worried or anything. For now, I’m just happy that I don’t have deathly horrible cramps or disastrous mood swings like I did before I was on the pill (and when I was on other birth control pills–i.e., Yasmin). So, it’s good and bad news. Sometimes, I almost wish they’d find something physically wrong in that respect, so they’d have something to fix. Oh well, I know you have to be very careful what you wish for…
