That’s great! I used was on Lexapro for many years and loved it. You will see that the results will keep getting better every day that as it works it’s way into your system. Have fun watching football I will be doing the same!

A change in meds can be a real life saver! I'd been on the highest dose of Wellbutrin for years, after my first suicidal episode. I had another episode in August and went into involuntary therapy. They added a tiny amount of Abilify, and now, for the first time in my adult life, I feel I can handle my daily life. Remember, if this med isn't enough, you can ask for more, or a higher dose. It is so wonderful to hear you've found something that works!!!!!!! You go girl!

Good job!

I used lexapro on a few occasions it takes a few week to get into your system for full effect. It made me yaw constantly and overtime I would yaw I’d get like a rush kinda like being on a rollercoaster. So I stopped taking it. I know a lot of people had good luck with it so I hope it helps you. I started Wellbutrin and so far zero negative effects it’s been a few weeks. One thing to keep an eye on is weight gain with lexaoro it can come On real quick. Most of the SSRI cause the weight gain in a big way. Wellbutrin on the other hand effects the dopamine and can cause weight loss and acts like an upper in some ways , makes you happy. Best wishes

Lexapro is really good. I was on it for 10 years. My fiancé has been on it for 5 or 6 and he has zero depression. When he gets anxiety he takes his klonopin. But I highly recommend lexapro. I’m glad you had a productive day that’s awesome!
