In reply to anyone had lexapro not work for them, posted by shadowmon on July 2, 2004, at 3:52:14
I am in the same boat as you. I currently take 20 mg of Lex for Depression and GAD and have been on it for about 8 weeks. It has been great for my GAD but I don't feel that my depression has been relieved enough. I don't have the energy to do things I want to do and am pretty lethargic throughout the day.
I saw my pdoc last week and he gave me some Provigil in the hope it would brighten my mood and keep me from getting so sleepy during the day. So far it has helped my energy level but not sure if it's really addressing my depression.
I am going to stick with the Lex for another couple of weeks to get the full effect and go from there.
I was on Celexa about a year ago and it worked great so we thought the Lex would do the same but so far it hasn't. How long have you been taking the Lex for? Do you take any other meds on top of the Lex?BTR
