In reply to Day 6 on 10 mg and feeling terrible, posted by Micki on October 12, 2002, at 16:26:05
> This is my 6th day on 10 mg Lexapro and I feel just as anxious and depressed, and more lethargic than before. Could barely force myself to go to the grocery store today, and can't seem to bring myself to wash the dishes in my sink. Does this mean this is the wrong drug for me, or might this still turn around...I know 6 days isn't very long.

> Picked up the second prescription my doctor called in for me--Seroquel, which is an anti-psychotic, but she said to take it in a low dose (12.5 - 25 mg) and it may help with the anxiety/ruminating. However, after reading some of the Seroquel message thread, including stuff about permanent side effects, I'm afraid to take it.** it is too soon to decide on lexapro...if you can, give it a few more weeks...and if you can, try it without the other med...after 1 month, if you dont see what you want...then try 15mg, or add something else if you must.
