I'm so glad to be helpful, if it hopefully turns out to be the case that i was.
It's possible that you're not on a high enough (or low enough?) dose of Lexapro, but that's doubtful seeing as how most psychiatrists tend to over-prescribe (dosage wise) than under-, in my opinion. It's also possible that you just need something else along with it (also doubtful from sounds of things)-- but i really do not know, of course. And, as you said, it's quite possible you just need to get off it and on to something else altogether. Regardless there are many options, so don't lose hope.
And remember there will never be a perfect drug, but there almost definitely is SOMEthing that will be good enough to give you the ability to live your life and to be happy that you are living it.
> I am glad you wrote this thread because I started Lex a little over a month ago and I never felt that bright happy sociable energized feeling. I feel slightly not so anxious but I will still have a panic attack and I am still depressed so I guess it isnt' working. I have no desire to do anything I push myself and I have had more thoughts of suicide than ever so I am guessing this one is bad. I believe with my issues ssri's aren't right. I think it is time to taper off. I am not sure what to go to next but thanks for this thread to alert me all is definitely not right with this med. Sometimes it takes a large rock to fall on me to wake me up in my present state. Thanks for being that cyber rock ! rk
