Lexapro Anxiety Forum
Just started taking Lexapro a couple of days ago, should I be feeling this way?
I have really bad anxiety/depression and since I’ve started taking Lexapro it’s helping with the depression somewhat, but I have periods in which I feel like I’m about to lose my mind. I read on a couple of forums that this is completely normal until your body adjusts to it, what’s your intake on it.
*Please don’t bash the idea of me taking meds, thank you :]
I’ve been taking half the dose (5mg) in the morning and the other half at night. I’m just wondering if that feeling will go away as soon as the benefits of Lexapro start kicking in.
It’s very likely. SSRIs produce a mixed bag of symptoms, and everyone is different. Wait 4-6 weeks after starting taking it and you should know how it will work for good.
Did your doctor taper you up on it? Take a half of one for 6-8 days before the whole thing? This seems to be a good way to avoid what you are experiencing.
