> It been 5 weeks at 20mg.Should i continue?I feel very low today.But i think it is because i have been sick all day.I took 1mg of klonopin last night.Something i usually dont do.I am just afraid i will go into a deep depression because i been there several times in my life.dont wont to go through it again and dont want to have to change medication for the third time.Its a roller coaster.I have no life or money right now.But i should be forunate with what i have..
So sorry you are having it so rough. Week 5.....for me on Lexapro week 5 had to be the worst! I had survived those terrible initial se's, and was expecting to feel better already. Instead I experienced increased depression and anxiety, and was ready to just up and QUIT because this just was Not going to work EVER! I talked with pdoc and he upd dose from 5mg to 10mg. Week 6 came and went, and I came here often for encouragement and had decided from all the support I should hold on longer. I did get relief eventually and since then I have had a return of symptoms, and another increase in dose 2 more times. Currently @30mg.
Please do not lose hope and give this med a bit more of a chance and deffinitely let your dr know about these feelings.
Best of luck~~~8|8
