Lexapro- worse before you get better?

Posted by SFguy on September 30, 2003, at 13:17:52

Hi. This is my first time posting here. I suffer from BDD and anxiety and have recently gone on 10mg/day of Lexapro (5mg/day for the first couple of weeks). I was feeling pretty ok, even happy, before I started the treatment. Then I took my first pill at bedtime and woke up the next morning completely and utterly depressed, groggy, nauseous, dizzy, and overall feeling like sh*t. The nausea and dizziness I can handle but the depression I can't. Why would it make me depressed? It should have the opposite effect. Has anyone experienced this and can share their knowledge? Thanks.
