In reply to Lexapro Users...Please HELP, posted by Cajunbelle on December 21, 2003, at 10:19:37
> HI..Ive been on 5 mgs of Lexapro for 4weeks...Last week I upped the dosage to 7 1/2 mgs,which I could tell really made a difference.I was like on speed,Couldnt stop cleaning,but tired at the same time.helped with the anxiety as well as the depression.About 4 days ago I upped the dosage to 10 mgs,and feel that Im back to having problems with anxiety again,have lost the energy also.I had a lot of anxiety the first 2 weeks starting Lex.Is this due to me encreasing the dosage and is normal,or maybe should I just go back down to 7 1/2 mgs since it seemed to work at that level.Is it possible that 10 mgs is too much for me..Im very sensitive to meds, guess having extreme anxeity has something to do with that.any and all feedback is very much appreciated...take care everyone :)

Many doctors today might call that Bipolar 2. Maybe do some research on that diagnosis. Thats what they think I have and my response mimics yours except I feel some euphoria at first too which then drops back to anxiety and feeling like crap after a few weeks. I am also highly anxious and med sensitive.Scott
