Afraid to get better? Do you self sabotage yourself
I was on
lexapro
for 13 years and went off of it 14 months ago. It kept me at baseline, a safety net but I felt like I was just existing, no joy or motivation or anything. I had this sense of paralysis or inertia and all I could do was sit on the couch. It was not life.

Best time of day to take Lexapro?
I am just starting 5mg of
Lexapro
and wondering best time of day to take it? I have heard there are some bad anxiety side effects and insomnia depending on when you take it. I am starting it because of anxiety and don’t need anymore.

My oncologist prescribed
Lexapro
, an SSRI, but I have been reluctant to take it after reviews of possible side affects. I am interested in reviewing your journey and efficacious treatments for various levels and forms of anxiety and depression.

Diagnosed with severe anxiety, panic, and MDD with psychotic features. Looking for women support
I tried Latuda and
Lexapro
before that and didn’t help at all. My main goal for this post to find women who can relate and who are also either a parent of hoping to become one. This illness came on gradually due to stress and trauma so before that I was complete normal and loving life.

Lexapro symptoms
Hi guys, I started taking Escitalopram again, a little less than a week ago. I’ve felt super nauseated, and have had really bad migraines over the past week following this medication I believe. I should also add, that my anxiety/OCD seems a bit worse also (but I know that’s also a side effect)

Lexapro Prep
Hello Everyone, I was prescribed the generic
lexapro
5mg for general anxiety. Is there anything I should do before taking the medicine such as having pepto on hand, certain foods or pain relievers? Also, should I not do anything to interactive for - like a week such as work?

Week 4-5 on Lexapro [HELP]
He suggested in the past that he would take me off
Lexapro
and try something else if my symptoms did not subside by our next appointment. Fortunately, they did subside in the following days but are unfortunately back now.

Lexapro
I’ve had good results with
Lexapro
for the last 10 years with minimal side effects. These drugs take awhile to start working so if you are having side effects you can always try a different one. My advice is to start as soon as possible so you can figure out what works best for you.

Increasing Lexapro
I started taking
lexapro
three days ago at 5mg. The side effects of increased anxiousness really hit me today and tonight I had a panic attack and couldn’t sleep.

Recommendation?
Lexapro
or Buspar? Part of my anxiety is medicine and side effects so it’s important to me to make the right choice.

Feeling worse than ever on lexapro
So switched to
lexapro
and a couple months in having the worst depression of my life. Hard to tell what’s what—what’s COVID lifestyle depression, what’s hormonal, what’s related to existential dread. But don’t remember feeling this “bad” before.
