  • I have been on lexapro for a year for anxiety and depression. This is my honest review of how it has changed my life and how it has improved my mentality. I touch on subjects such as my efficiency, my depression, my weight and my dreams. Hope you enjoy watching!
    Here are the books I made since being on lexapro:

    Thanks so much for your support! :)

    I'm about 11 days into taking lexapro (10mg). My depression has worsened a fair bit. Itseems to be getting a little bit less bad as time goes on, but the depressive waves I get are more intense and overall i feel more depressed and feelings of wanting to die are stronger. My doctor says just to push through until 6 weeks. This is hell. Did you, or anyone notice any worsening of symptoms like this?

      I wouldn’t expect much effect at 11 days. Your comment was a month ago. I hope you’re feeling better.

    I was on this medication for years and there is withdrawal with any SSRI.
    A new doctor asked why I was on it for so long and I said cause the doctor said lol his answer was to put me on ability and buspar.
    The doctors do not mention it.
    It is not fun and basically the symptoms is all the reasons you use the med in the first place.
    Exposure therapy and PMR is the way.
    I'm now medicine free 1 year so far and feel the best i have in decades.

    The worst you feel/felt on this or any will be a billion times worse and then some. when you stop it. Tapperd or not. This happens with 1 dose or any amount of time.

    Has anyone experienced very much heightened anxiety after first starting? When did it subside?

      I've been taking 10mg for a month and my doctor just upped the dose to 20mg because I feel more anxious. I'm hoping things will get better now that I'm on 20mg

      Could be a side effect of just starting the medication. Usually these go away after your body gets used to them. Lexapro was one of the better anxiety meds I tried
