i forgot to say its in the top two most effective antidepressants as a first line treatment
i hope it continues to work for you. So you think lexapro can work even if prozac didnt? im scared
it didnt work for me and it looks like its going to.
the good thing about trying this one is it diesnt take as long to work and the side effects are less. Im not sure what your struggles are but ive been ill for 6 months with 2 failed meds and i had nothing to lose my anxiety was so high on those meds so thought go for it.
it looks like you have given it ling enough so i would go for it. if your struggling now then you got nothing to lose and it might make you feel great
yeah youre right. I pray something works for me
is it anxiety your main issue
i think so. I think anxiety manifests as depression for me. It causes me to cry and worry about getting better. I break down crying
thats the same for me its always anxiaty first which i get health anxiety then panic attacks which causes depression. it also gives me ocd when im like this. its so hard but when the med works it gets you back to your old self.
if you started now you could be seeing improvements in 2-4 weeks
I had health anxiety too and was on zoloft which worked for me awhile ago but it stopped working and ive been trying at different things since. I just have this feeling of sadness anxiety and dread and i worry so much about getting back to myself. it consumes me. I tried lexapro awhile back but dont think i gave it long enough of a chance. i only gave it 6 weeks in which i had ups and downs…
i know how you feel from the moment i wake up im looking forward to bed because had enough of the constant stress of all of it. Did you stay on one dose on lexapro
i did a month on 5 mg and 6 weeks on 10 mg and i did see some progress but wasnt where i wanted to be..but looking back maybe i shouldve gave it more time. maybe i should try it again
you still could of gone to 15 or 20 and you still get benefits up to 12 weeks i think
yeah it just terrifies me that nothing will ever work
well to be honest all of us with anxiety all worry about the same and we cant be positive. Thats all ive been thinking about is the medication working. Makes worse when you read reviews when people recover in two weeks and that never happens to me
yes exactly!!! its discouraging
if i was you go back on lexapro because you had some positive results. speed it up 5mg 1 week 10 mg give it longer than the six or do 2 weeks then go up to 15mg and see how that goes.
new year tomorrow so make a change
i am going to have to taper off the prozac and meet with my dr but i will talk to him about it asap.
only need to do it 5 days then straight on to it.
good luck anyway
u think? ive been on it awhile…almost a year.
Maybe he’ll have me a cross taper. Good luck to you too. let me know your progress
my wife was on it 18 years then 5 days straight onto sertraline. yeah cause and let me know which way you go
oh wow. ok thank u
