I take
lexapro
10mg a day and that works sometimes and sometimes not. Recently I have been doing great. But I just got the flu a couple days ago so I’m feeling awful. And anxiety and being sick do not go well together. Been having trouble sleeping too.

Hi everyone, I have began treatment for anxiety, including meds (
Lexapro
10mg) and therapy. One thing I have learned from therapy that I wanted to share is the 90 second rule.

Perimenopause and anxiety
I’ve tried Celexa and
Lexapro
and all they do is give me more anxiety. I’m afraid to try any other antidepressants as I do not want more anxiety. Has anyone else’s anxiety gotten worse since their periods Have stopped? Thanks

Lexapro dosage increase 10 to 15mg
Has anyone had side effect issues going from 10mg to 15 mg on
Lexapro
? I've been on 10mg forever and just swapped to 15 a few days ago. I'm feeling super tired, groggy, having some vision issues and just blah. Can i assume this is side effects?

OK so my doctor gave me
lexapro

Hypnosis totally reset my brain.
At the end of every day I popped a pill from my already full medicine cabinet:
lexapro
, ambien, Xanax o. With my marriage and my health plummeting I took the first step out of my self hell and tried something new. Marc explained hypnosis has been practiced for 3,500 years.

This is wasting too much energy to have no returns...
I can't afford therapy, haven't been on antidepressants since
Lexapro
was NEW, and if I remember, they just made me angry. Nothing helps, and I couldn't afford it even if it COULD help.

Anxiety meds changed manufactures and now they’re not working??
Okay so I’ve been on escitalopram (generic for
lexapro
) for about 4-5 years now I believe. My local rite aid changed their pharmacy to Walgreens and therefore a new manufacturer.

Medication Update (Pristiq)
I am cross tapering the
lexapro
while starting a low dose of pristiq at the same time. My first dose was taken this morning. I am worried I'll have yet another adverse reaction or something serious like serotonin syndrome again with how sensitive I am to medications.

Hello fellow Anxious friends
Now have turned into full blown panic attacks and just last night spent 4hrs at the ER (all test results ok) after starting
Lexapro
which was my 5th day but was not told to taper off Clonaxepam instead of stopping it cold turkey after taking it daily the last 3wks.

Guilt for asking for ADD medication
She's prescribed me
Lexapro
for my depression, but I don't know her that well. I need some advice on how to bring up that I want to get on ADD meds. I'm so afraid of being judged for trying to get on ADD pills.

Feel like I'm going crazy
I am tapering off
lexapro
because I no longer have insurance to get it, I can't even keep a job because of this hell.

Recently Diagnosed, In Need of Treatment Advice
Can anyone currently taking (or who's taken it in the past)

New here.
Struggling right now because I forgot to take my
lexapro
with me on vacation. Went 8 days without. Took some last night. Feeling better emotionally but feeling manic. Just hoping to connect with others like me and fully accept my illness.

Lexapro/escitalopram
I wanted to know the thoughts and opinions of anyone who has taken
Lexapro
or escitalopram. I have been prescribed this by my doctor.... I am very untrusting of medicines. And I think it would help me if I know the thoughts and opinions of anyone who has actually taken it.
