Hi Wildflower:-) Nope~you're definately not alone, remember that always. May your days be more comforting:-)
I take 10mg of Lexapro also. Sometimes when we're going through other things, like work and relationship-issues, the medication can only do so much. BUT, please give it a chance. I had good days and bad days, but at my 23rd day, I began to notice that I was indeed *dealing* with things better.......better able to sort out answers to my heartache, not feel suicidal, hopeless, etc.
And so it will be for you I hope:-)
My PCP doc was the one who started me on Lexapro also, but I believe it would be to benefit to you to find a psychiatrist who is more specifically trained with these sorts of medication/area/specialization.
**In the meantime, by all means, call your doc who prescribed the Lexapro~after all he/she DID give it to you/put you on it. It's only fair he/she be there to answer questions when you need them answered;)
Do you have a psychiatrist? Keep us posted, and if you need anything~just ask~we're a friendly, helpful bunch:-)((hugs)) to you.


> First let me start off by thanking all of you for you posts. It's been very comforting to know that I'm not alone in what I'm going through. Actually, checking the posts seems to help me get through the day.
>
> I'm on my 23rd day of Lexapro (10mg) and I haven't really noticed too much of a change yet. The last two days have been absolutly horrible for me (work and relationship-wise) and the tears keep coming. Have I just had two bad days or do I need an increase in my med?
>
> I should mention that it was my family doctor who prescribed the lex. He's not readily available to answer questions like this or else I'd give him a call.

> I'd really apprecate your opinions on this. Thanks in advance!
