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?

SSRI withdrawal and RLS
After learning that SSRIs can aggravate RLS, and no longer feeling depressed, I decided three years ago to get off the
lexapro
. (I had attempted this years earlier, and failed).

When you are better and then worse
I think I was doing better over the last few months and then my doctor sticks me on
Lexapro
an I get an ear infection (unrelated but at the same time) These two actions have thrown me way off. I am off the
lexapro
but it really made for a tough month and the ear thing was taken care of by ENT.

Anxiety Relapse after years.
Also, since I've been on
Lexapro
for years, will the increased dosage work as it did before? It's been exactly a month, how long will I live like this? Is it normal to have blips after the major relapse? How long will I have the
Lexapro
increase side effects? Sorry for my long post.

Day 2 - Lexapro
Yesterday I followed up with my Dr, and we started
Lexapro
5MG. I took it as soon as I got my hands on it. Last night was rough, had some anxiety but not like the time before and I was only able to sleep about 3hrs. I would like your kind support in sharing what to expect.

New here, First Post, Feeling Down and Lonely
I take
Lexapro
and it helps somewhat but when I get into feeling like this, when I should be absolutely taking it, I find that I don't. I know that's not good and lessens the effectiveness but I am feeling so down about everything at that point that it slips through. Sorry if this is rambling.

Prazosin for ptsd
I’m hoping this new medicine along with my
lexapro
antidepressant will take away some of the physical responses my body goes into during a trigger episode. I wish everyone well and have been gratefully doing twice a week therapy since September to better understand the ptsd.

Generic Lexapro manufacturer change
I've been taking one brand of generic
Lexapro
/escitalopram for 7 years. Walgreens has been my pharmacy that entire time and have decided to change to a different manufacturer of the generic. I'm nervous to take it even though I know it by law has to contain the same drug in the same amounts.

Effexor? Thoughts?
In the past I have been on
lexapro
and Prozac didn’t really notice a drastic change. I wish my body could work itself out with the migraine and anxiety but maybe my body needs a little nudge. Has anyone had a positive experience with Effexor?

Anxiety, Dopamine and Serotonin
But increasing the dosage of my SSRI
Lexapro
would likely worsen my RLS.

First Time Posting. Looking for Peace
I did this until March of 2021 when I was diagnosed with depression and put on
Lexapro
. Fast forward to June of this year and I was told some devastating news by my wife that broke me and sent my spiraling. She has developed feelings for another man and has had them since April.

Bad panic attack
I am currently take 20mg of
lexapro
and 1mg of Ativan which I’ve been taking for some quite time. My anxiety has been very manageable the past couple years but within the last 6 months it’s got gradually worse. I believe the
lexapro
might not be working anymore.
