Lexapro Users!!

Hi Everyone

I have been taking 10mg of Lexapro for about 4 1/2 weeks, I am not sure if it is working yet? How long does it take for you to know its working?? I have another follow Dr appt in 2 weeks so I will see what she says. Hopefully you guys will have some insight. Thanks

Collette

Re: Lexapro Users!!

if you lead a quiet life, you may need to place yourself in a situation where you normally would have a panic attack to see what happens
if its working there will be a big improvement

if not yet working, ask doc about upping the dose, the usual max is 20, a 10 mg tablet could be cut to give 5 if you wanted to take 15 unlkess you have an extended release version

Re: Lexapro Users!!

Hi

It took me a few months before I felt it really kick in

It was pretty horrible adjusting at first to the med

have hope, it may work for you yet,

In the mean time, breath!

Re: Lexapro Users!!

ifa, I'm curious. What made lexapro so awful to adjust to? I developed tremendous fatigue, and went off it after a couple of months, but it worked great for the first month!

Re: Lexapro Users!!

Hey guinepig

Lexapro was awful because My attacks got worse at first.
I wound up curled up on the floor freaking out and feeling like i was going to explode!
My brain felt like it was moving in different direction than me

it was just plain weird.
Im pretty good now
