Was really glad to read your post!!
I've been wondering the exact same thing. On meds, I feel balanced, happy, and comfortable. Yet, off meds, I feel more mentally alert, etc. I also don't quite feel myself at times on Lexapro (10mg is what I'm on).
I wish I had the answer regarding this, but I'm just wondering as you are. Last night, I forgot to take my Lexapro, and this morning I awoke feeling so mentally alert and full energy unlike the usual grogginess I feel in the morning when I take my med. Yet, I experienced alot of irritability over the smallest things. I also felt my anxiety creeping up unlike when I've taken my dose. Anyway, took my dose, and my peace and serenity have come back. So, for now, I'll stick with my lexapro and put up with the occasional grogginess and "not so myself" feeling!
Would be interested in hearing more about this.
Again, thanks for bringing this up!!
Take it easy,
Arrianna
