So today I went to dr for a sick visit but decided to mention my anxiety over the past month. I've always had issues with anxiety runs in the family. But when you add a ton more stressors it effects me horribly. I freak out. I get super irritated.. angry.. then after that subsides depressed. I have always pulled myself out. But I rather not deal with the ordeal. So I asked for something to take on occasion. Dr suggested everyday dose of Lexapro. Any suggestions ??
I take it for anxiety and depression and highly recommend it especially for anxiety and it started working almost straight away, I have 15mg now but started on 5mg then 10mg after a month and 15mg two months after that. Get well soon
i am on 10 mg now on my 5th week and i feel al9t better now but i am atill having up and down days. like now i feel down but hoping tommow is better and i talk to my doctor Tuesday i mau go up to 15mg. i hear its the best dose but lets see and i hope you feel better i know this sucks but we must fight for all of us going thru this
Day 3 on lexapro.. and I was totally spaced out all day. Hope this changes because I don't like that feeling. Family noticed it also
I've decided today to stop taking this medication. I think it's actually making my anxiety worse. I have total lose of motivation.. and while I'm still aware of this I'm going to make the decision to stop.
Hi! Just wondering how you made out with your escitalopram? I am 3 weeks in and have felt terrible since starting it...having so many side effects. I am thinking I will start weaning off now as just hate feeling this poorly. Did you stop yours? How long had you been on and did you wean off or stop cold turkey? I was on this a couple years ago at same dose and didn't have any side effects. This is so much different.
