Lexapro Day 27, 10 mg or do I need increase to 15 or 20

[Den2542]

I'm going on 27 days on Lexapro 10 mg. Side effects were disrupted sleep in first week, subsided in second week. Nauciousness for about 30 seconds after taking pills in first week. Constipation... somewhat. Very vivid dreams starting second week. Diminished libido. More energy. More sleep in second week. Constant overthinking stopped. I still overthink but not as bad. But depression and anxiety is less but it's still there. I still hate people and don't trust them. Prefer to be alone. I still think people are plotting against me and talking smack about me. I'm prolly psychotic what ever that means. But with Lexapro, I wear my armor. Since I'm on 10 mg do I need to tell my doctor that sometimes I'm still depressed or have anxiety, think people are against me. Or in time will this too get better. I'm one day into therapy.

I used Lexapro for a while. Unfortunately it just was never enough for me. I think if you're seeing some results on the dosage I would definitely talk to my Dr and let them know about depression and anxiety still being there and noticeable. They can either up your dosage, or add a low dose supplement like Buproprion or Busperone to help. I went through about 20 different meds and combos of meds before I finally got something that's helping. 100mg of Pristiq. Is your dr a primary or a psychiatrist? I got the bestvresukts after a stint in a behavioral health hospital and had to start seeing a psychiatrist. That's when they figured out I was bipolar with maniac that manifested in ways that are not typical. Now I feel like I'm living again and know what signs to look for when I'm trying to go into a downward spiral.
