So sorry you are having it so rough. Week 5.....for me on Lexapro week 5 had to be the worst! I had survived those terrible initial se's, and was expecting to feel better already. Instead I experienced increased depression and anxiety, and was ready to just up and QUIT because this just was Not going to work EVER! I talked with pdoc and he upd dose from 5mg to 10mg. Week 6 came and went, and I came here often for encouragement and had decided from all the support I should hold on longer. I did get relief eventually and since then I have had a return of symptoms, and another increase in dose 2 more times. Currently @30mg.

Please do not lose hope and give this med a bit more of a chance and deffinitely let your dr know about these feelings.

Best of luck~~~8|8

Zyprexa is great for getting you motivated out and doing stuff without worries. Its defanitly not addictive. Help clear your thought up.
