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.

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
