> I'm on day 17 of 10 mg Lex and I'm about where you're at. I can't sleep, feeling anxious, my thinking is muddled, night sweats and I feel like I might be loosing my mind. The first week and a half I felt like I had the flu - runny nose, sore throat, ear congestion etc... I'm giving myself 4 weeks to adjust. Reading others posts has helped me cope and is VERY encouraging. You're not alone in trying to get used to Lex. Many, many people have done it with positive results. Hang in there!
What happens at week 4? For me it was worse depression and anxiety like never before. Then doc upped my dose and things got better, but didn't really *feel* better until week 9.
Hang in there, the wait was worth it for me.~~~8|8
