Struggle bus - anxiety sucks
My primary prescribed me
Lexapro
, and I know it takes time to kick in, but I feel like it’s making me feel stranger yet. Id love to hear your experience with anti-depressants. Thank you, it is helpful to know I’m not alone in this struggle.

I just started Meds for anxiety
I’ve always been someone who fought through panic attacks naturally and spiritually but after an extreme experience with it, I have been prescribed klonapin and
lexapro
. Would love to connect to people have been taking this or who have taken it. Thanks so much

Diarrhea from Lexapro / Escitalopram
On my own I did an internet search for 'diarrhea and
Lexapro
' and learned that they are linked. I brought this up to my new psychiatrist who apologized for not catching it.

Feeling so empty and worthless...
my
Lexapro
adjustment isn’t working. I have fleeting thoughts of not being around anymore. Fleeting, but still. People who don’t have to struggle with mental illness don’t know how freaking lucky they are.

SSRIs and weight gain
I switched to
Lexapro
this year and it has made me balloon up. Body image is one of my major anxiety triggers so I’m struggling right now. I have started cutting calories and hitting the gym hard, probably too hard. My therapist says it is borderline eating disorder behavior.

How’s everyone doing today?
Feeling pretty low, waiting for the extra dose of
Lexapro
to kick in. Started guided meditation on YouTube yesterday. Not too long, 10-15 minutes. I did feel better afterwards. Do any of you do something like that?

Newbie looking for advice
I'm currently supposed to be weaning off of Wellbutrin and
Lexapro
, however the other day I had the bright idea to stop taking all meds altogether and it's been pretty rough since.

Question regarding dosage increase
Hello everyone, I am would like to know if any of you have had any experience with going from going to a 5 mg
Lexapro
to 10 mg? I have been on 5 mg for the last three weeks and of course the side effects at first sucked but I am doing much better.

IMPROVED RESPONSE TO ADT thanks to you all and your feedback
Increased my
Lexapro
(depression medicine) from 10 mg to 20 mg daily. Exercising 6 days per week, instead of 4. The regime includes 4 days aerobics (bike or elliptical) and 2 days per week of weight training, thanks to London441. Weight training helps my head.

Has anyone experienced insomnia while starting lexapro? How did you deal with it?
I have been on
Lexapro
for about 11 days now for anxiety and depression. I am not sleeping except for a few hours after taking a xanax. The xanax is working less and less as I believe I am developing a tolerance to it. Any advice on how others have tackled this would be appreciated.

Just Joined after talking with my therapist
What we find out is that I had become dependant on
lexapro
and ativan. That was 4 months ago. We've been trying to get my meds sorted out, and I do feel better, but my OCD came back, my depression came back and I feel so alone in this. I don't know what I'm even asking in this post.

Hard to cope....
I've been suffering for some years from a brain trauma that was caused by the cessation of
Lexapro
I was on 20 years ( I've been getting better very slowly). Recently I started to feel agitated and impatient again when I wake up. It'll subside as a day goes on. But it's a real torture.

I am 8 days into taking a starter dose of Lexapro for anxiety? My anxiety has gotten worse. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am 8 days into taking a starter dose (5mg) of
Lexapro
for anxiety? My anxiety has gotten worse and I am not sleeping now. I am having to use xanax to settle my mind enough to get a little sleep. I am suppose to up my dose to 10mg today but am on the fence about this.

Post covid symptoms
I’m at my wits end and they put me on a antidepressant to help(
lexapro
) and I think it makes everything worse. I don’t know what to do anymore. Any ideas?

Checking in and recovered
I was on
Lexapro
, Buspar, Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine, and Clonzapam all at the same time... This was just to keep my panic attacks down. I honestly haven't read too many stories of people that had them as bad as I did.
