> New reader to this sight. Glad to hear others having chaleenges with Lex. I was on celexa for 1 year, great results...decided I was fine...4 months later a very grumpy bear..Doc prescribed Lexapro, said it was the latest and greatest. 3 1/2 weeks later I feel worse off then before. My temper is better, but I feel jittery and sluggish. The celexa took about 4 weeks to kick in so I'm hoping this will work soon. I read that some of you found your self better at 6 weeks. Any similiar feelings??
> Thanks and good luck to all.
>It could take 6-8 weeks befor you feel the *benefits* of Lex, and as others have said, it can get worse befor it gets better. I had deep depression and lots of anxiety around wk 4-5, did not really feel like Lex was working until week 9.
Hang in there as the end results have been well worth the pain and wait for me and many others who have posted here.
Keep us posted on your progress!~~~8|8
