Hi everyone my name is Savannah I’m 25 years old and I suffer from anxiety which started after a health scare (cardiophobia) and depression since having my son who is 4 now. I started taking lexapro 10 mg 2 months ago and I see a difference but still waiting on the full effects. I would say my anxiety and depression is mild and seasonal if that’s a thing lol. Anyway looking forward to talking with you all.

Welcome. Seasonal is definitely real. I’m sure others will agree. You are at the right place.
Hi Savannah!
Welcome to the community. It’s good you’re seeing the lexapro’s effect to some extent. Seasonal, yep, that’s a thing. SAD is seasonal affective disorder. I look forwards to talking to you too.

Hi. I know it's been a while since you posted. But are you still on Lexapro? I have been on it 7 weeks and I still feel my anxiety but the Lexapro brings my mood down. Started at 10mg for five weeks and 15 mg for two weeks.
Hi so sorry for the late response I stopped taking lexapro a month after I posted this. I just didn’t feel that it was working for me and I found ways to cope on my own. Stay on, give the medication time to work. Its great for a lot of people you just have to be consistent. Don’t quit cold turkey you don’t want those dreadful brain zaps
