Lexapro

Hey you guys. So I couldn’t tolerate the Hydroxyzine, as a result I was prescribe Lexapro 5mg. My psych says he thinks this will be really good for me and does not have as many side effects as other meds. I’m just wondering if he’s telling me this because he know I don’t want to take meds but he insisted that’s the best option. I recently purchased Claire weekes book from Amazon just waiting on it to arrive.

Lexapro was horrible for me it did nothing. Everyone is different.

I take Zoloft it works wonders.

I took it for many years and it worked, but there was a period where I felt it wasn't doing anything for me, so I weaned off the medication on my own. I experienced terrible side effects because of it. As with any medication, everybody has a different take and bodies respond differently. Talk to your doctor, research, and when you decide to take it, do it with conviction. Wish you the best.
