In reply to SSRIs taking 3-4 months? Lexapro?, posted by cmorhoun on May 12, 2007, at 9:37:38
> I'm just wondering if anyone has stuck with lexpro and found that it didn't start working for 3-4 months.<
I have been on Lexapro for about 4 years now. It did take about a week ± for it to begin working. Just recently I tried Celexa for about 2 weeks. It didn't work as well. As of today, I am back on Lexapro. My initial dosage was 10mg. After 6 months I went up to 20mg. It has been at that level ever since.
>Tried it again a few months later, started at 20mg this time and stuck it out for 6 weeks. This time the stomach trouble made me quit. Other wise it was the same...anxiety/aggitation, slight help with depression. <
I have intestinal problems that are ongoing since my gallbladder was removed. Stomach doesn't seem to be causing problems. I did have an ulcer a year ago from too much Excedrine. Off it now.
