Taking the Medication Plunge

After putting this off for as long as I could, I finally caved.

I started taking anti-depressants.

Today was my first day of taking Lexapro.

It was something I really didn't want to do, but gave into the peer pressure of trying it, because I knew it could help how unhappy I've been feeling for a very, very long time.

My main concern was the side effects, but the doctor assured me this particular medication isn't so bad. However, on my first day, I've had a headache, my stomach feels like it's eating itself and felt like my heart was racing out of chest. (OK, the last could be from a cup of Starbucks coffee, but that's not a normal reaction for me.)

I guess we will see what happens, but I'm not betting the house on it.
