Am currently on 20 mg daily, for depression.
My GP switched me over from Pristiq about 6 months ago, due to terrible side effects on the Pristiq.
Since the changeover to Lexapro, I've had a really hard time. Started on 10 mg and that didn't cut it. GP increased dose to 20 my mg and then 30.
On 30, I felt awful - dazed, with brain fog, and just numb. Cut back to 20 mg again, weeks ago.
I'm now sitting here, having taken the day off work, wanting to kill myself. I won't, but I want to. I'm 42, I can't imagine spending the rest of my life feeling this dead inside.
I would be so grateful for any thoughts or experiences. Thanks for reading.
