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.

Anyone taking
Lexapro
and feel like it is contributing to your feelings of anxiety? If so, how did you move forward? With or without
Lexapro
?

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?

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.
