I just hit the 9 week mark on Lexapro. I started on 10mg for a week then went to 15mg for about 5 weeks then the rest of the time on 20mg. On week 9 everything came back to normal, sleep, appetite, energy, no racing/intrusive thoughts all gone. I'm not saying I'm cured or the dark side won't return but the meds have given me a harbor in a storm, a place where I can regroup and see where I am and where I need to go. I did take .75mg Klonopin to knock down the anxiety and am down to .50mg with the intent of coming completely off the K-pin unless something comes up and my MD has given me the green light to use as needed. For now, I plan on staying on Lexapro for the long term.
