Zoloft (Sertraline) increase making me feel worse!
Hey all, I recently switched from
lexapro
to Zoloft. I started on 25mg of Zoloft, then went to 50mg. I was definitely starting to feel better and my panic was becoming more controlled. However, I was still having some OCD intrusive thoughts and struggles with anxiety and panic.

Coming down
Does anyone have any tips for coming off of
Lexapro
? I tapered off and was on it for 20 years. I was tired of just “being”. I dealt with life, and I don’t want to deal with anyone or anything. Just getting though my work day is a struggle. I feel like I am not comfortable in my own skin.

Miracle drug!
I’ve been medicated on
Lexapro
and I hardly have anxiety ... ask your doctors if you aren’t on it already. It saved me

Confused
I haven’t gotten outta bed and it’s almost time for me to take my
Lexapro
I don’t want to but I keep getting told it’s gonna help in the long run, but how much longer is it gonna take? I’ve already missed a week of work. How much longer do I have to be in bed to get over this...

Feeling anxious again
After almost two weeks of
Lexapro
I am starting feel anxious again. It's currently 2:33 am and I feel like I can't breathe when I try to sleep. I don't know why this I am starting to feel this way when I have been feeling ok, since taking the medication.

Meds
Im on
lexapro
and honestly still have these symptoms. I already have switched from zoloft too. Do you think my doc would let just switch to something else besides an ssri? And just be on ativan and something else? I had these symptoms before starting meds by the way.

Lexapro - increasing dosage?
Hello I’m on
Lexapro
(Escitalopram) 10 mgs and have been for 4 months. One aspect of the benefits was that my sleeping was much better. However for the last week or two I have been waking up very early again and a bit down.

Anyone Else Highly Distractible? Potential ADD Comorbidity?
My current medication
Lexapro
is doing wonders for my anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions. However, I am still highly distractible. My brain does not have the activation energy it needs to start tasks and stay on task. I would say it is close to impossible to get work done.

1st day of medication
I took 5mgs of
Lexapro
today. I really hope it works because I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel lost. I had to cancel a family vacation because of my anxiety. I hate myself for ruining my parents vacation.

"I'm Just a Kid"
I started
Lexapro
three days after my initial intake and I couldn't believe how well it worked. The doctor told me it would take two to six weeks to kick in, but I noticed progress on day 3. It was WILD! From then on life has bee mostly onward upward. Little things stopped bothering me.
