Small Tuesday

I haven't really felt like updating lately. I guess you can tell from the lack of posts. Well it's kind of been up and down. I'm just trying to figure out how I feel. I took Lexapro for 3 days then stopped because I wanted to be responsible for the weekend since it would involve massive amounts of alcohol. Much to my surprise, the intoxication did not seem to effect me one bit. (Don't worry, I took it slow the first day I did not take Lexapro to gauge my intake level) Maybe because I do drink every week and my body became slightly desensitized? or had a bigger advantage when getting used to all the chemicals. Who knows.

Anyway I noticed a change in my body since last night. I seriously feel like I'm pregnant. I've been just wanting to eat everything and I really do feel like I am PMSing. So like always, I did some research. Turns out Lexapro makes you gain weight. And I thought it was completely shocking because, well I have only been only it for not even an entire week and already I can feel it taking a toll on my body with the excess of bloating and water weight. My breasts feel huge. Haha sorry for the vulgarity, but it's the honest truth and it's rather comical.

So weight gain is not part of the plan seeing as I have worked so hard this year to lose weight and get back down to my original size. Which I have succeeded at if I may congratulate and say so myself. (Go me! Haha)

So I called my doctor with my necessary complaints and asked him to prescribe me Wellbutrin XL instead. (Did I mention I have been researching about anti-depressants for months now? Just to be on the safe side of course) So we shall see what happens with that after I take it.

I just wanted to say, thank you for all the support and love for those few who have managed to take time our of their busy days to comment. I really appreciate it and it means a lot.
