1

Hi!

Im on lexapro since 12 weeks in total.
started at 10mg for 4-5 weeks , 12,5mg for 10 days and 15mg since december 20 (so around 5 weeks).
I am better then when I started with anxiety and depression cause it was really intense but since a week, its like if I feel more anxious in my body. A bit shaky , dizxy and tired.
My mood is a little low also cause I would really like the anxiety to be over.

I dont know if its still normal? Did some of you took longer to see there anxiety subside???

Thanks

Hi Lolita, Did you discuss it with your doctor? I have tried in the past twice with Lexapro to fight with an undesirable thought which caused me anxiety but I could not…but yes it did hellp me within 4 months with general anxiety or dipression. I mean wirh the dose of 15mg. So you have to talk with your doctor…Good luck!!

I had that for 4 or 5 weeks. I would at least call the doctor if its been 12 weeks!

I didnt discuss it directly but Im in a group therapy and the therapists report everything to the doctor.
So you say that lex was helping you but only after 4 months, is that right?

In fact, from the first month, it gave me motivation to be active all the time, in the third month I had noticed that it helped gradually with panic attacks but never felt the serenity I asked from such type medecines … the secret is to be busy most of the time so you have not the time to think negatively… anyone of us is different so I wish you good luck and do not think so much!
