Hello everyone--
Today is my 3rd day of the full 10mg. dose of Lexapro. I'd prefer to take it at night so I don't have to pay as much attention to the side effects, but I woke up so depressed and anxious I took it anyway. The physical side effects are decreasing, but my mood is quite foul and I'm feeling discouraged. I don't know how long this medicine is supposed to take before it starts to alleviate depression/anxiety/obsession-- it sounds like some have gotten relief after three or four days. I feel irritable, fearful and anxious; I have to fight myself from just curling up in bed all day with my cat, feeling regressed and depressed. I feel like I've taken some mild, bad acid or something. I'm really trying to give this medicine a chance because nothing has worked so far, but it's so tempting to just stop it when I get to these really uncomfortable hurdles. Just wanted to connect. Thanks.
