Dark = anxiety and depression
I am on day 8 of
Lexapro
! I just took 0.5 of Lorazepam to see if I can sleep today. How do you guys deal with the winter and dark / rainy days ?

Medication help!
I am on
Lexapro
now that seems to be working pretty good, but the side effects are irritating. I am exhausted all the time (falling asleep at my desk, can not concentrate and have foggy brain). Zoloft was HORRIBLE for me. I am needing one that works good but has less side effects. any ideas?

Not feeling like myself
I have been on
Lexapro
for about 10 years. I. The past several weeks I have been experiencing deep states of not feeling like I have anything to give. A real lack of feeling!

Has any one taking
Lexapro
had experienced being jittery and nauseous constantly, I can't seem to sit still and I would like to sleep but I can't fall sleep since I'm up around five because my anxiety wakes me up. Tried deep breathing, calming sounds, calming sermons and nothing seems to work.

looking for direction
All this brought on terrible anxiety and have being a therapist for a year. he prescribed
lexapro
and I feel it works but the only thing that seems to to really keep me calm is xanax which i take 1/2 mlg three times a day. I have been taking this for 11 months and it is a big help.

The battle seems never ending
I’ve been adjusting to
Lexapro
for almost a month and also take Lorazepam at night. Things were getting better (but the meds made it worse for awhile). My anxiety was almost gone, my panic attacks subsided, my appetite was back, I was sleeping again.

Extreme Fatigue (SSRIs, SNRIs?)
Lexapro
helped mildly. It just sucks because I'm trying to stay busy with work, hobbies, and taking care of my 4 year old son. But when I get these feelings, it's hard to do anything! Ugh : ( Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Anti depressants and sleep
I tried both sertraline and
lexapro
and both only worsened my insomnia so I stopped taking them after 3 months. I cannot take remeron (though it supposedly helps you sleep) because it has a tendency to raise your cholesterol and mine is already high. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Terrible rumination
I have tried
lexapro
and Zoloft, none of which did much to help me. Going to the psychiatrist tomorrow to explore new meds to quiet my mind and help me get some sleep. Anyone take any anti depressants that have helped with both trauma and sleep? Thanks.

Anti depressants and sleep
I have tried
lexapro
and sertraline. Neither did much for me so now I will be trying celexa. Does anyone know if this drug also affects your sleep or lack thereof? I suffered terrible insomnia while on
lexapro
and sertraline. I need to get some sleep! Thanks for any information.

Struggling with tic-like OCD
I've been on an SSRI for decades, but switched from Prozac to
Lexapro
3.5 years ago. In addition, I switched from an SSRI-only regimen to Cymbalta + SSRI about 7 years ago. I have also taken Buspar for about 7 years.

Who takes what for anxiety and what has worked
I have tried Zoloft and
lexapro
without real success..both made me more anxious with weird thoughts entering the picture. I was recently prescribed Effexor which scares me even more.

Anxiety meds that don’t make things worse at first
Hi: I have tried
lexapro
and Zoloft for my anxiety/depression. Both seemed to make me feel more anxious/depressed even after taking them for 3 months each, plus I could not sleep.

Still not better
I’m on
lexapro
. It helps the panic somewhat but I’m still having a panic attack today. I can’t seem to make myself get up and do anything. I’m too absorbed in feeling betrayed and worthless and angry he seems to be treating her way better than he ever treated me.
