> I have been taking Lexapro for about 2 months. I was given it for anxiety and stress. I have taken 10mg everyday. I dont feel any different, and I havent really had side effects (just loss of appetite, but I had that from being stressed out to begin with) Should I tell the doctor it isnt affecting me and that maybe I should stop this and take something else...or up the mg....? Thanks for help
Erin -
Two months seems too long to me - I think you oughtta go to your doctor. If you're not getting relief from your anxiety and stress AND you're not experiencing any side effects from the medication? - then Lexapro probably ain't gonna do it for you - you might require something entirely different. I wouldn't up the dosage without talking with your doctor either - that doesn't seem like a good idea.
Hope you make an appoinment soon - you shouldn't have to be waiting so long to feel better!
Good luck!
