> Well, after only two weeks on lexapro, the doctor took my husband off of it. Since my husband said he was feeling worse, the doctor said it wasn't right for him. So now he is taking nothing, but the gp told him to see a psychiatrist. So we will try that next. His problem is he is just generally depressed, feeling worthless, no motivation to do anything. The lex made him anxious on top of the depression. He had not had anxiety before that, just the depression.
> ***We are in the mid-Atlantic and I think if the sun would just shine a while everyone would feel better. It's rained here over 8 inches in the past month and we've only had about 6 days of sunshine. It's enough to depress anybody. Of course, I realize that's not his problem, but it (sunshine) sure would help me.
> Good luck to all of you...
> God Bless,
> C's wifeI agree that 2 weeks is much too soon to tell if the Lexapro would have worked or not.
I also experienced anxiety attacks initially (never had before) but like other SE's they went away.
Depression may seem like "no big deal" to some people, but for many like myself getting help from professionals has made all the difference!!! Please have "C" get help and best of luck to both of you!
