Hi Emily, thanks!
Yes, I was on 10mg for 10 weeks, now 20 mgs for 3 months. I would say I am just now feeling more normal BUT... I have had insomnia that is just finally starting to abate. So, it is hard to use me as an example. When you are tired, everything seems worse and I was crankier than normal!!!
I would say, though, that at the 10 week mark I really felt myself being able to give to other people again (outside my family) which meant my emotional energy reservoir was being filled up again . . . which means the Lex was really working! That was a big sign. Also, I yell at my daughter & husband for no reason less frequently - this was a big bad thing that my depression caused and I am feeling in control of those emotions again.
I would start to look for marked improvements at the 8 week mark. Keep a journal. Sometimes it is so hard to see progress! Hang in there! You are getting better!!
~ Lynne
