> linnielinnie, I am just starting my 7th week of Lexapro. I went from 10mg to 15mg in my 5th week; I started taking it for depression.
The Lex has helped the sadness and I haven't cried for awhile now, but it has caused insomnia, so I take Lorazepam at night. I also have that constant "wired but tired" feeling, which is very frustrating.
I kind of crashed after my 4th week; became tearful and anxious again, and that is why I increased to 15mg. The side effects from the increase were about the same as when I first started.
Others on this board have said that the side effects will go away eventually, and that is what keeps me from giving up.
Good luck! ...jlynne
