It takes at least a month with Zoloft before you start feeling any difference, I’m not sure about Lexapro. I don’t think it’s worse it probably needs time, but if you have any concerns from there maybe speak with your prescriber. Good luck. I hope it works out for you!
I started Lexapro recently. I started at 5 mg for a month. I have GAD/panic disorder/ocd. At first I was more anxious....but my phystrist told me to expect that. I feel alot of my anxiety at first was the what if I have a horrible side effect. I did have night sweats....odd dreams...and still a few panic attacks....was unable to sleep well for the first month. After 1 month of 5 mg I was increased to 10 mg. I have been on 10 mg for a month now and have noticed I am able to manage my anxiety and thoughts much more. I do have odd dreams sometimes....but other than that Lexapro has been helpful for me. Hang in there it's worth it!💛
I can def relate!! I started taking meds last July for anxiety only and it triggered intrusive thoughts, extreme fears, extreme ocd ( identity/existential thoughts).... till this day im struggling with all of it
My intrusive thoughts are creepy and weird. I've had them before but I was always able to just let them flow through. The meds have made me feel more anxious so I think that's why I can't get them to just go. They just keep coming back. I think I'm over it then they just come back. I'm scared if I stop the meds they won't fully go away now. But I also don't won't to keep taking the meds if the aren't helping
Anybody ever take Wellbutrin? I started lexapro a month ago and the side effects were terrible. My doctor put me in Wellbutrin. I’ve been on 150mg for 4 days now... yesterday all day it felt like it was maybe working. Or maybe it was just a good day. I’m not sure. But anyways, last night I had a full anxiety attack. And I spiraled so so so so hard. Maybe I’ve been bottling it up and it just all came out? Or could it be a sign that the new meds and making me manic or not working right?
I started lexapro a week ago and I feel that it’s making my anxiety worse. Does anyone have experience taking lexapro? Did you notice the same? Thanks!
Anyone on lexapro? I’m starting it today and I’m feeling really positive about it just want to see if anyone has had a positive experience as well(:
