Increasing dosage on Escitalopram
Good evening I’m doing well after 8 weeks on 10 mgs of Escitalopram (
Lexapro
). In the UK 10 mgs seems to be the usual dosage prescribed for moderate GAD. I’m wondering what the benefits are of increasing the dosage as a lot of people (mainly outside UK) seem to do this.

How do you change antidepressants?
I think the
Lexapro
I have taken for 4 years has pooped out. I am going to mention this to the doctor at my next appointment in July. I know a lot of times people have to change meds. I had a really hard time starting medication as I have a pill phobia and really don't want to take anything.

Escitalopram/Lexapro - too relaxed?
Escitalopram has helped me with my anxiety and depression - I’ve been taking 10 mgs at lunchtime for 7 weeks - but it’s almost like I’m too relaxed. In the mornings I can’t seem to get going and I don't care much about doing things that need to get done. I have been sleeping so much better but I am

New here 🕊
I have good and bad days in terms of motivation and I'm on 15 mgs of
Lexapro
which I take at night. I use medicinal marijuana in conjunction with my anti-depressant and prefer it to using the Benzos I'm prescribed and keep on hand for when I still have difficulty sleeping or having a panic attack.

Overall opinion of anti depressants
Have tried Zoloft,
lexapro
and mirtrazapine. None have really helped the depression and have at times made me more anxious. I was perfectly ‘normal’ before all of this occurred. I know I need to do something just not sure what. Thank you,

MASS CONFUSION REIGNS AGAIN ... for me anyhoo
And they are:- * LEXAM *
LEXAPRO
and * ESCITALOPRAM I have prescriptions for them all in my possession. But I'm extremely confused as to why I am taking them. (FYI ... so is my GP for that matter), I have tried to Google them, but that only seemed to increase my confusion.

My OCD, Anxiety, and Panic.
I went back into the outpatient program, started individual therapy, and have been put back on the
Lexapro
. I stared at 20mg a day, but a couple weeks ago, just as I was feel a little better, I had a panic attack out of nowhere.

Can Lexapro (Escitalopram) suddenly start to give you side effects, even if I’ve been on them for years without side effects ?
I have been taking
Lexapro
for about 6 years and couple of years ago I have started to get nausea , stomach discomfort, tiredness and lightheaded which the doctors can not find out why . Could the
Lexapro
be causing my issues ?

I stated taking
Lexapro
around 6 years ago with no problems , for the last couple of years I have been having a generally unwell feeling , stomach discomfort , nausea and tiredness which doctors can’t seem to find a answer for. Could the
Lexapro
do this ?

CBT and Lexapro for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Hi..my cbt therapist suggested I find this forum...to help me feel less alone with anxiety/ panic attacks. I look forward to reading your posts. Have had this for 50 years. It rears its head unexpectedly, and, each time it feels new. It can last days or weeks. Scared, anticipation, unrealistic ideas

Having hard time finding the right med
For 2 years I've unsuccessfully tried other SSRIs like brand name Zoloft, generic
Lexapro
, generic Celexa but they either caused too much physical side effects, didn't help the OCD, or both! I'm currently on generic Celexa and want to make the shift to brand name because of the side effects.

Escitalopram/ Lexapro-5 weeks in!
After a pretty rough first 2 weeks of side effects ( I nearly gave up after a week!) I thought I’d let people know that I’m really feeling good with no side effects. Sleeping so much better, no waking up with nightmares (haven’t had any since day 1) to the extent that I have decided that I am needing

Noooooooooo! Why? :(
Hi- So update and insight needed....my BF was on
Lexapro
, and everything was great- but then I could tell things were changing- he was reverting back....and then he admitted that he stopped taking it- because he was getting headaches and then finally admitted that he felt different when on them- well

Lexapro and Trazodone combo treatment
Started
Lexapro
(5mg.) last week. Also taking 5mg melatonin nightly. Started 10 mg.
Lexapro
today. Sleep problem continues so clinician wants to add low dose Trazodone at night. I already have low pulse issues with the
Lexapro
and am concerned about heart rhythm issues, among others.
