Wellbutrin as an SSRI alternative?
I have tried to gradually taper off of
Lexapro
and was recently hit with unbearable anxiety. It has recently gone from a 10 to a 5, but it's still uncomfortable to live with. The psychiatrist prescribed hydroxyzine, a sedating antihistamine, a known RLS trigger and I said "AAHHH NO!"

Middle Age Woman with Depression /Anxiety
I am now on 20mg
Lexapro
( I had been on 10 mg for years but last year it seemed to poop out on me). I tried Hormone Replacement Therapy and that didn't do much so I asked my dr to prescribe something. She put me on Trintellix and that made my anxiety go through the roof!

I can't seem to get off my SSRI
I have tried weaning off
Lexapro
extremely gradually, over a 3 year period, going from 10mg to 3mg. RLS seemed to gradually worsen during this time, especially during the last 6 months. It seemed that the SSRI and RLS were unrelated.

Feeling numb, empty, and confused
I was in the hospital for serotonin syndrome caused by my
lexapro
and I had to immediately stop. then, I lost a family member due to a car accident. I don't know if any of this is related to last months events but every day I have been feeling either too much or nothing at all.

Feeling myself fall back
I am still taking
lexapro
(5ml) and it has worked amazing for my anxiety. I just don’t know how to stop these feelings from getting bad like they used to be.

Health Anxious
They prescribed
Lexapro
. Took it last night and this morning I felt like a zombie and nauseated. Immediately I associate the nausea with some type of gastro cancer. Why?! This has taken over my life and I'm sure affecting those around me. I want to be better. My mind is so ill.

Suffering from depression. Any tips?
I’ve been taking 20mg of
Lexapro
for about a year. It has helped with my anxiety a little, but I’m still struggling with depression. I was thinking of asking my doctor to increase my dosage, however I would like to explore some natural options if anyone has any tips. Thank you in advance :-)

I'm not sure how to do this
I'm in therapy and taking
lexapro
, but I'm not sure if it's the correct dose. I still feel unbelievably sad, I still am struggling with compulsions. This is all compounded though since I'm having trouble seeing my doctor due to staff resignations and COVID rules.

Switching ssris
I'm currently on
Lexapro
but was thinking of switching to Paxil, as it seems to be approved for more conditions than
lexapro
, ocd being one to name a few. Can anyone share their experience transitioning from one ssri to another or share your thoughts about a particular one?
