> Hi...I was just wondering how long on Lexapro till you start to feel better? This is my 4th day on 5 mgs..will bump it up to 10 mgs tonight.Feel sorta spaced out...Last night had a panic attack...I Got too focused on the spaced out feeling..Took a klonopin this am and feel much better, but still the dull spacey feeling..Will all of this pass?
> Ps..Glad the Lex is working good for you :)
> KristenThe literature says 6 - 8 weeks. For me it was 9. As far as the laziness, it's *in your head* - so to speak...just like male34 said, just get up and start moving and it will evaporate. But I may be jumping ahead...you are still in 1st week. I didn't feel *lazy* until after 4th week.
I started @5mg, spent all of week 2 in bed, very sick - like flu kind of, wk 3 a little better, wk 4 was TERRIBLE - anxiety attacks and DEEP depression. Doc upped me to 10mg 5th wk. Did ok until month 5, went to 20mg, still @20mg and doing well.
Hope this helps!~~~8|8
