Question: Anyone have feedback on Lexapro!?
I just started on a small 10mg daily dose last Thursday, for depression and anxiety!. Has this drug helped anyone, or do you have any feedback on how it worked for you!? Thanks in advance for your reply!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I've been on Lexapro for about a year and a half, and it has helped me a lot!. It does take a while to work - sometimes six to eight weeks to reach the full effect!. Are you getting counseling for the depression!? The Lexapro will take care of the physical symptoms of the depression - the counseling helps work through the causes!.
When you get ready to get off the Lexapro, wean yourself off it very slowly!. Get down to the 5mg pill (the smallest they make), and after a week break them in half (get a "pill cutter") and take the half-pill for a couple weeks!. Then, take the half-pills every-other-day for a couple weeks, then stop!. If you wanted to, you could add one extra step and go every third day if you want to for a week or two!.

I have been on Lexapro for around a year now!. I started it after being on Wellbutrin and having no luck!. I know that it took Lexapro around a month to really start working!. I was on 10mg for a while but felt like I needed more and was put on 20mg which is what I take now!. I will say in the beginning it made me really tired because I was taking it in the morning!. My doctor switched me to night doses and it works much better now!. I have tried to go off of it a few times because I thought I didn't need it and was able to tell the difference!. I like it because I don't feel doped up and I still have my bad days but it has gotten much better!. I would also recommend counseling as well!. I started it and have had a lot of success with the combination!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I started it about 5 weeks ago for anxiety and panic attacks!. At first, I had nausea and some other small side effects!. But, after 2!.5 weeks I couldn't tell a difference, so my dr!. said to stop it!. 3 days later the attacks came back, so I went back on!. The best thing I could have done was to go back on it!. Now, at about 5 weeks of it, I'm starting to feel the effects and it's really balancing me out!. I'm also on Xanax though, for a short while!. I say overall it's a good drug!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
