I've been on 20mg lexapro for about 6 months. At first I felt a bit better but lately I feel more depressed and it gets worse later in the day. No interest in eating..watching tv..housework..nothing. I rush thru the evening when I get home from work just so I can go to bed. I have to pretend to be happy even when I'm with my precious grandkids. Has anyone had an improvement by increasing their dosage? This all started last summer...a few horrible anxiety attacks which was helped by taking clonazepam but my depression just wont stop.

Hi 4Penny, I would talk with your doctor regarding Lexapro. I'm not a doctor butI feel that there may be other drugs out there for Major Depression.
Letting your doctor know how you are feeling is the first step since he knows your
health history. My best in finding help xx
I agree with Agora - if the Lexapro no longer works, your doctor may recommend another class of antidepressant. Ask about Tricyclic's - others have good results on it.
What else are you doing to manage the depression? Meds will only take you so far.
Not what you're looking for?
