Feeling desperate - Lexapro

[Blueeveryday]

Shamelessly posting another thread about this because - I NEED HELP

Has anyone taken this and felt even worse?
I’m a month in now, 2 weeks @ 5mg and another 2 weeks @ 10mg. It ain’t working except after the increase to 10mg, just for a couple of days. I feel I’m going crazy!

will another increase to 15mg help? Yes I will speak to GP tomorrow but I just want other peoples experiences.

Desperately seeking advice 😢

Have you tried any other meds? I tried two others before settling on the one I’m on now. Been on this 3 months. Bumpy starts but doing ok now. X

Sorry to hear you are still struggling @Blueeveryday.

It may be that you need to try something else.

I am still awaiting my prescription.

Hope the GP is helpful

@TreeHuggerMum1 which did u try before and which have you settled on? I’ve tried steraline, Venlafaxine, citaopram and fluxotine already 😵‍💫 when did u begin to feel a positive change? X

Thank you @Sharpkat

one month in and it’s bad. Maybe I’m too hopeful too soon. I’m not sure. It’s knowing to increase or stay put. Was ur prescription not due start of December? Sorry you haven’t got it yet ❤️

@Blueeveryday been waiting for prescription since 18 November so it has been a while.

Really hope things turn for you soon x
