For those of you wanting to know how some of us have been doing on Lexapro, here is my status at 4 weeks....
After 3 weeks at 10mg Lexapro my doctor bumped me up to 20mg this past week - today is my 5th day at 20mg. I have been pleased with Lexapro from a side-effects standpoint, but have found almost no relief for my anxiety and depression. Prior to this I was on 150mg of Effexor, which was doing an adequate job for my depression and providing some relief for my social anxieties. I needed to get off the Effexor due to unreasonable side-effects. I am hoping that the Lexapro will start to do its thing any day now, but it seems like I have given it enough time to get some amount of relief...so I am worried that Lexapro may not be the best medication for me. I'll post again with any changes.
By the way, thanks to everyone on this board for posting...it is comforting to know that I am not alone.
