> I too ran into trouble around week 3-4. I cried every day and was very fragile all week. All someone had to do was look at me wrong and I was in tears. From what I hear, it does get better. However, I'm on week 5 and I had to stay home from work yesterday - slept in until 3:30 pm!!! I've never been that tired in my life. I say we all just keep going and if things don't improve, maybe we should consider switching.

> Good luck to all of us! :-)I too had trouble around week 4-5, deep depression and anxiety attacks. My pdoc increased dose at that time from 5mg to 10mg and that seemed to help. I just want to encourage all of you to hang in there, the worst is almost over. Around wk 6-8 you should start to feel the *benefits* of Lex, however, you may not notice. This happened to me, I was waiting for something *BIG* to happen and nothing!! I went through wk 6, 7, and 8, nothing! Then one day in wk 9 I was sitting on couch watching tv, something funny came on, I laughed, really laughed, and all of a sudden I realized...THE LEX IS WORKING AND I FEEL GREAT! Other people around you may notice a difference befor you do, people at work noticed when I didn't.
So hang in there guys!!!! Best of Luck!~~~8|8
