I've been taking 40mg Lexapro for about 8 months and I believe I'm experiencing this SSRI poop-out thing. Prior to the Lexapro I'd been taking Zoloft for around 6 months. This was all for post-partum depression. I switched to the Lexapro due to the insomnia I experienced while on Zoloft. The Lexapro was working great until maybe about a month or two ago. One day I'll feel like I did before being on the medication; frustrated, short-tempered, sad and a little paranoid. The next day I'll wake up in the morning and feel relaxed, happy and full of energy. There's nothing new or unusual happening in my life — maybe I just need a vacation. But I'm fairly sure that my mood is being affected by my medication — it's so irratic. I hate dealing with my meds. My insurance sucks and in addition there's all the symptoms of adjusting. Does this happen to everyone on SSRI's eventually?
