Hi I’ve been on Lexapro for just over three weeks. I’m feeling really low today and really questioning being on it. The first week I could cope with the side-effects maybe because id just gone onto it. But now i don’t feel myself. I feel really unmotivated, flat, blah and headaches. All new symptoms going in to week 4. The first week was drowsy and anxious. Then I felt ok the following week. I went on these for moderate anxiety and occasional patches of feeling low. I’ve had some health issues with my back and i’ve been caring for my daughter who has had anorexia for the last year. Albeit she’s a lot better I feel like I’m hanging out on the washing line to dry. Maybe delayed stress. But I do have a history of anxiety and overthinking. Should I be starting to feel better now. I’m only on 5mg. 10mg last week made me feel horrendous so only stuck it for 2 days. I’m wanting to slowly go on to them but I’m having such doubts. I think I feel worse than I did before. I’m about to take my daughter to a school friend reunion and I’m so nervous of coming across distanced and emotionally blunted. I turned down a weekend away because I couldn’t face my mother in law questioning the pills. I feel like hiding. Sorry for the rant I just need some real positivity please. Life is hard and this feels harder at the mo! Thank you (I will see my GP next week for a chat)
