I’m on 10mg lexapro (for anxiety not depression) and every doctor has recommended me to taper off once I quit - not to quit cold Turkey. It was strongly advised to me that tapering off is the best way to get off otherwise you will experience exactly what Dulce experienced - withdrawals. If I go one day without taking the pill I’ll start to feel anxious or negative thoughts after 24hour but I recognize why. I started taking this because I struggle with anxiety and had some big life changes. I probably plan to be on this for a few years bc my life transitions have been a lot and I’m prone to perfectionism and anxiety and overthinking. I haven’t found that complete balance yet but on this medication I’ve been doing much much better and see it as a temporary fix while I try to implement natural methods of diet exercise mindset and overall health into my life.
I was taking 10mg Lexapro for about a month until my mind complete started to shut down meaning I was driving and was fighting my sleep. It was very scary. I would go to work and come home at 4 and take a 4 hour nap. I just couldn’t function. In my case it took about a week to kick in.
I also felt an instant change when I started taking Zoloft. I am now on 150mg and being on antidepressants literally saved my life. Even close people have informed me that I am nice to be around.
I love you Dulce! I love how you’re not afraid of sharing. I myself take lexapro and it has changed my life!! I’m a completely different person than I was before taking it. I resonate so much to everything you’ve experienced.
Thank you so much for sharing something so personal about yourself and what you’ve struggled with. That’s very courageous and admirable. I can relate to everything you shared to the tee!! It is so comforting knowing we’re not alone and that it’s okay to help yourself whatever that looks like. I’ve watched your channel for years probably before 2016-2017 and never knew you were going through this. I truly felt like I related to you like never before and I’m so grateful for you. Keep doing what you’re doing you never know who you are helping because you sure helped me. God Bless you and may our Lord continue to direct your paths as you put your trust in him.
Attachment to your inner mind!!!! Oh, that hit so deep and resonates with me in my journey on getting on antidepressants. Omg, Dulce, you're so courageous, and you are an eloquent and clear voice for those of us who've struggled eit perpetual angst and depression. ❤❤❤
Lol you are attached to to the inner mind in the current incarnation so you must master it not turn it off😂 She literally said meditation helps her come to terms that you can’t turn off the mind so why would you want to turn off the awareness of thoughts She said the pills made her stop overthinking and dwelling on thoughts but that what mediation is for and my theory is it was the mediation and god and not the pills ergo why she is addicted and couldn’t stop them bc she could not self regulate bc they through off your chemical production in the long run get off them asap and do t be taking advice from influencer your don’t know what sinister agenda are backing them
I was given lexapro from my psychiatrist over 2 months ago, haven’t taken them. Scared of side effects! Praying and fasting before I take them. Prayers please!
I too struggled with anxiety mainly my whole life even as a child. I would have these breathing episodes and always thought it was asthma attacks but they actually were panic attacks. I’ve always been very spiritual and connected to God and I will say that has helped me stay off meds until this past year I started getting extreme panic attacks that inhibited me from living a normal life with my kids. I would get them randomly throughout the day and couldn’t breath. God always being so close to my heart I felt a tug to get medical help. I too am on the lowest dose for anxiety and my life has substantially increased. It’s been a month and it is amazing how much has improved in my life. I’m also in therapy and doing a lot of my inner work from my childhood. I know it is an aide to help me get through this time in my life not forever but it shouldn’t be looked down upon it can help change someone’s life. Religion / Faith can’t cure all genetic mental illnesses unfortunately.
You have come a long way from your closet when you were in the Army. It is beautiful to see. I also love that you're on your spiritual Journey with God. I promise he will reveal himself to you and everything will make sense. Many years ago I was on Effexor for 4 months and got off cold turkey. It was horrible! However, I believe that when you get off you have to give yourself time to feel the withdrawal symptoms. Your body is detoxing from the chemicals. You'll feel it all once again but then you'll come back to balance. Also, sadness, weeping, Pain, and so on are natural feelings. It's what reminds us we are alive. If we are perfectly happy and content and in control of everything all the time, when will we ever rely on God?
It’s not numbness you found your worth in Christ , you don’t need the validation on the outside , you found it inside .. Freedom You understand that it’s not your problem and You can hand over things over to God , there’s things you can’t control - You freed yourself from this responsibility - You were so consumed with your self , your thoughts , self centered and you had an awakening - So much was unloaded and you feel so empowered now - God Bless You !
After 12 years I was able to get off of medication. I tried multiple times. I will say you should always work with your dr, unlike myself that tappered way too quickly and had many struggles. I’m happy to be off and though I still have hard times I’m learning new ways to live through meditation, herbs, naturopathic medicine, and psychotherapy. I know medication has helped in the past and I can always go back if I need but I also know how hard it is to go off. I also think dr are quick to hand out pills when we aren’t focused on the person as whole.
Thank you for your story. I would like you to dive into why you would be depressed. You really hid it well. Your content is all about expressing your style, home and journey through life. I wonder what you could be depressed about.

Lovely podcast! ❤ thank you for using your platform to end/minimize stigma in Mental Health! Can you please share more about your journey when you were in the military and how possible that component can be a part of your mental health. In particular with sxs od anxiety and PTSD.
I removed a lot of things, people, etc and has really help me and appreciate you sharing that I am not the only one experiencing some of the things you mentioned and feel that I’m not alone, not crazy, or even think that it’s the medication doing this too me it’s a process and I need to give myself time to absorb in my body and do where I need that help. BIG Thank you 😊
Question: you said you weren’t on Lexapro, you said you were on oxalate. I thought oxalate and lexapro were the same. Could you please clarify. Thanks!
She meant Escitalopram Oxalate, which is the same as the generic version of Lexapro but slightly modified. ‘Oxalate’ is a type of salt added to the medication that helps with stability and absorption, potentially leading to improved side effects.
I love the way you explain things. I have depression and I am currently taking Lexapro 20mg. It's been some years now since I have taking it. It works great for me. Thank you for sharing your story. I love watching your channel your such a inspiration to me. And I wanted to say thank you so much for being an amazing powerful inspired Women.

Hi Dulce! Great video I also take medication for depression and I feel ashamed to talk about. I love how open you are about your story. I have the same side effects with Lexapro that you mentioned. I haven’t heard of oxolate but I’m so happy it’s working for you. Is your new medication just called Oxolate or does it go by another name? I want to discuss different options with my doctor and I might mention oxalate so I don’t have those side effects that I don’t enjoy. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Im scared to get on medications because the stories ive heard. But so while on it, Does it gives you energy while one it,i heard you said that you worked out, i wonder can you use creating, what supplements did you use, or what can you use? Vitamin? Can you drink alcohol? Etc.... you look pretty fit 😍 23:07
I was told to limit or avoid alcohol when I was on medication. Alcohol makes you depressed anyways so it counter acts the medication. If you do drink I would suggest only 1-2 max or check with your dr.
Here is my question: @duclecandy first of thank you for your honesty. When you try to stop and realize that depression comes back, doesnt it make you feel like all the exercice, meditation, diet, prayers... is just not helping after all and get discouraged that basically its only the meds that are working?
Look into hormonal balancing foods and supplements. When I was studying psychology (a long time ago) the FIRST thing they taught us was to look at vitamin B supplementation as this was a starting point for mental issues. Doesn't cost much so doctors don't make money out of it. Also most people are deficient in vitamin D (which is actually a hormone) and we NEED 10, 000iu per 10kgs of body weight every day, and more if you're overweight. It takes 7 days before you reach an ok level. The hormone balancing herb Ashwaganda is also incredible. So, High dose vitamin B, Vitamin D, and Ashwaganda. Try each one for a week on its own first and take notes on how it's working.
@@peacefulsleep7052 I am probabaly deficient in all of those. I don't get outside at all cause I don't have anyone to go do outdoorsey stuff with, and I am overweight due to my knee surgeries I had. What kind of Vitamin B should I take? I know theres different numbers linked to them lol
Go on a diet and exercise, the chances of you no longer being pathetic and weak are 100% but I’m sure you won’t try it because excuses are easier to make
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe your psychiatrist told you can come off of it cold turkey. You need to tapper off! Also, coming off antidepressants less than a year of using it is not effective. I’m pretty shocked that your psychiatrist allowed this.

Oh wait read it again it’s the added oxalate that helped. it’s not the generic version that’s what I was thinking. Still never heard of this before and good to know .

Its weird you started to feel changes 1hour after taking medication. I mean everyone is different and all that but its kinda impossible to see changes in that short period of time, maybe medication was just a placebo for you, idk, im not saying you werent taking antidepressants, im saying that you put so much expectations on the medication that you changed the way you see the world and your life just by taking them, and thats why you “started to feel different” 1 or 2 hours after taking them…the time to your brain start to make changes is 2 to 4 weeks. Sometimes people Start with side effects first, thats why so much people doesnt take antidepressants, it takes time to the brain to adapt to the medication
I understand why the Holy Spirit lead me to watch your videos. I used to be a follower of yours, but I stopped following you because of the new age practices that you were practicing and I see that you are still practicing new age which are yoga and meditation I pray that God delivers you from these practices. 🙏🏽
The Bible says to meditate... meditate on the word of God. Yoga is just stretching and you can pray to God while you stretch... it is a mind and heart matter
I can say the same, I processed and dealt with everyone in an emotional way. It was always sad to say bye, let go, and I’d get attached to what was so surface level for the average person. Now with meds, I think I let go of it completely. I also deal with hiding that I take meds or I don’t want to tell anyone what I go through. It’s very personal. You look and sound amazing Dulce 🧡🥹

How long did take for lexapro to kick in. And with your anxeity did you have loss of sleep? I might have to get on meds for this.

She meant Escitalopram Oxalate, which is the same as the generic version of Lexapro but slightly modified. ‘Oxalate’ is a type of salt added to the medication that helps with stability and absorption, potentially leading to improved side effects.
Why did you try to go off your med three different times?
First view
I'm not sure of its your mic but your s's are sharp and hurts my ears
Yes i felt that 😖
I felt the same as well. And disappointed as I read through these comments that she answers, basically, none of them. And oxalite? Really?
Her mic is fine
Lost me at it happened in a day placebo
Its weird you started to feel changes 1hour after taking medication. I mean everyone is different and all that but its kinda impossible to see changes in that short period of time, maybe medication was just a placebo for you, idk, im not saying you werent taking antidepressants, im saying that you put so much expectations on the medication that you changed the way you see the world and your life just by taking them, and thats why you “started to feel different” 1 or 2 hours after taking them…the time to your brain start to make changes is 2 to 4 weeks. Sometimes people Start with side effects first, thats why so much people doesnt take antidepressants, it takes time to the brain to adapt to the medication
Yeah it’s all bullshit
Yep. It's kind of sad isn't it. That's said, I was sure, and then she gets the help she needs

Sorry, but it's not a vitamin!!! I'm 12 months off Zoloft and have anhedonia! And had PSSD.
I understand why the Holy Spirit lead me to watch your videos. I used to be a follower of yours, but I stopped following you because of the new age practices that you were practicing and I see that you are still practicing new age which are yoga and meditation I pray that God delivers you from these practices. 🙏🏽
The Bible says to meditate... meditate on the word of God. Yoga is just stretching and you can pray to God while you stretch... it is a mind and heart matter
@@VulpixElfyoga can do yoga like an exercise but it comes from religion. It comes from hinduism
I can say the same, I processed and dealt with everyone in an emotional way. It was always sad to say bye, let go, and I’d get attached to what was so surface level for the average person. Now with meds, I think I let go of it completely. I also deal with hiding that I take meds or I don’t want to tell anyone what I go through. It’s very personal.
You look and sound amazing Dulce 🧡🥹
