Literature states Lexapro may take 6-8 weeks to be effective, for me it was 9 weeks.> Is it possible that my lows this week are from withdrawal from the zoloft?

This is very possible as there will usually be side effects from discontinuing a med.> Thirdly, is this obsession part of OCD?

Sorry, I don't have an answer on this one, but feel again that it may be possible.> And lastly, I would love support and encouragement.
You have come to the right place, people on this board are the GREATEST! They helped me through the awful initial side effects I felt, and my depressions, and fears that Lex would never work for me. Lex has given me a decent life again, I can function as a normal person most of the time, and on those other occasions, it has helped me get through the rough spots.
Please don't get discouraged and give the Lex a chance to work, you may get good results too!
Best of luck to you!~~~8|8
