Havent posted in a long time but I finally got brave enough to tell the DR about my anxiety. She started me on Lexapro. Day 5 and no crazy symptoms. Just wondering about other peoples experance with Lexapro?
My Dr started me on Lexapro. - Anxiety and Depre...
My Dr started me on Lexapro.
Hi arcknight...it has been a long while. I'm happy to see that you have started medication.
I too am on Lexapro and have found it to be a very good drug for me. I was able to get
off benzos and solely stay on Lexapro. Give it time to work. 4-6 weeks to reach full
efficacy. (a few more days if the dose is increased during that time) You've made a
big step forward in finding some relief with your mental health issues.
Wishing you well and please keep us updated. xx
Hi Arcknight,
Agora pretty much nailed it, but I just wanted to say that I am on Lex for a long time myself.
I wouldn't call it a miracle pill, but I know that it is helping me more than hurting, because I feel super anxious on a day where I almost missed taking it.
Either way, I hope that things work out for you.
Lexapro didn't work for me. The first time my doctor prescribed it I was on it for about a month. I began to feel a bit crappy so I gave up on it. The second time I gave it about a month and a half before I gave up on it again. I have a neighbor who has been on it for about 2 years and seems to be doing well. Good luck, I hope this medication works for you
I have been on it for I think about 9 months 20mg a day. I would say it helps, but it can make you sleepy at times. So I am going to talk to my doctor about splitting or reducing the dose. Wish you the best. Did take a month or more until I adjusted and slowly raised the dosage. Stay in close touch with at least your GP about any concerns right away.
good evening how are you now, the doctor prescribed me this medicine too but I haven't started it yet
