Thanks for all your info. I have been on 10mgs of lex for about 5 weeks now. Sometimes I think I am feeling better and sometimes worse. I am trying to give it the full 9 weeks as you suggested. Sometimes the anxiety is terrible and the the stupid thoughts that frighten me especially in the early morning...
I didn't see a pdoc but got this from my gp. I have an appt to see him today and could ask to increase to 15mgs. Maybe I should wait to increase after the 9 weeks.
It seems like I used to have it together but maybe I have always had depression. I just want to feel good again and enjoy life.
It is so good hearing from you.
