Anxiety and Depression
Started taking
Lexapro
and Buspar. Also have Atarax as needed. What does anyone take for this? Meds aren't doing much yet.

update
I voluntarily admitted to psych hospital in December and left less than 48 hours with a new script for
lexapro
. My goal at that time was to slowly wean off of Xanax. That has not gone as planned.

What To Do Next?
All of this has been triggered by a brilliant idea a year and a half ago to ween off
Lexapro
after years of being on it. Since then I have... Been on a litany of new medications (
Lexapro
again, Remeron (the worst), Seroquel XR, Buspar, Clonidine (lol), Propranolol (lol), Prozac.

Going off Lexapro
I am switching from
Lexapro
to Prozac. I feel awful! It feels like extreme anxiety and agitation. Is there anyone who can validate that this might be discontinuation syndrome. I feel like I’m going insane. Thank you

Thinking about quitting Lexapro (escitalopram)
Now, alongside Straterra I've been taking
Lexapro
which makes me feel kinda odd when taking together in the morning ( I used to take it at night). I feel like
Lexapro
is now defeating the purpose of Straterra so I'm now debating between continue to take
Lexapro
or just stop completely.

GAD Relapse
Hey all, I had a relapse on January 12th and am back on medication
Lexapro
15mg. Anxiety has began to dissipate and I’m becoming more functional with every passing day.

Extreme insomnia
I started having some depression symptoms over the last few months so I thought it might be a good time to switch to
Lexapro
(been wanting to get off Paxil for years). I've been on 10mg
Lexapro
for about 3 weeks now and although the depression has gotten better my anxiety has gotten much worse.

What time of day to take Lexapro?
I am starting
Lexapro
tomorrow! My doctor said choose a time... anytime... and take it at that time everyday. My friend said to take it at night because it makes you tired and you can sleep through the drowsy phase. Does anyone have strong opinions about what time to take it?

Frustrated
I was put on
lexapro
bad reaction got Adrenalin rushes and got sick. So got put on mirtrazapine and it worked well but I was afraid of weight gain so went off. Held my own for a bit. Then was put on trintellex and now same adrenaline rushes so going off. I guess its going to be the mirtrazapine.

why is this happening??
I just upped my
lexapro
to 15mg as of today so I’m hoping that helps but who knows. Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated! I hope you’re all doing well and finding peace through this nightmare we call anxiety and depression.

health anxiety
I take clonazepam,
lexapro
and trazodone. I lost my 25yr old brother due to a heart attack caused by low potassium it happened very sudden. I can still hear my mom’s scream in my head when she called to tell me her son is dead.

OCd worse stuck in loop
I called my Pscyh and went on 30mg of
lexapro
from 20 with .5mg clonazepam and I feel like I'm happy again. I couldn't stop obsessing. it was like 7 gerbils going around in my brain at once. I usually stay on 20mg but it wasn't enough for now. Has 30 mg worked for anyone else?

hello all
Also I’m just going to be frank, as I don’t like talking about meds much because of the varying opinions on them but… I am on
Lexapro
20mg, busiprone. 10mg x3 times a day and mirtazapine 15mg at night and it seems to help a lot! Is this a crazy amount of meds to be on?

OCD attack lasted 3 weeks now afraid of the anxiety and thought
I take
lexapro
20mg and I don't want to increase my dose so I watched alot of CBT videos. I have mostly pure O. But I can ruminate and raise my anxiety level. This was an attack of OCD. But the anxiety level this caused me was ridiculous.

Anxiety help
I ended up on
lexapro
and was fine for about 7 years. In 2019 my doctor gets me off cause I'd been on it long enough he thought. Fast forward late 2022 I feel I'm having a heart attack. Run to hospital no issue. Weird. January I start feeling just fatigue no reason. Goes on for a few weeks.

finished Neupro taper and looking for guidance on increasing my Gabapentin dosage
I also take Lithium and
Lexapro
for mood. Ideally, in due time I can reduce my
Lexapro
dosage but no immediate plans to embark on that journey.
