Lexapro 9th week

Hello everyone!

So it's been 9 weeks on lexapro now. I started on 07/22 and I've had better days than bad. It's seems to be doing the job just like it's done before in the past. Some days I do feel a bit off but stick through it and eventually goes away.

How do you know if you need a med increase? I don't feel that I do but sometimes I wonder if I do because of those off days.
I haven't had anymore anxiety lately. Feeling a lot more like myself but some days I just feel blah. I def need to work of my mindful thinking. I noticed my anxiety does increase when I'm getting my time of the month.

But overall feeling better than before I started lex. Haven't had to take any klonopin at all starting lex this 4th time around. Initially my doc wanted me to be on this for only two months which I was hesitant about but last time I saw him he said to stay on it until the end of November.

Just wanted to provide an update for those of you who know my lex journey.

Thank you! I hope you are doing well!!!!

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction roxy! I'm glad for you!

I think it's normal to have ups and downs - we all have good days and bad. Like SC said, tell your doc how you've been feeling at your next visit, and s/he'll be able to make a recommendation if you should increase the dose.

Strength!

Hi thanks for the update pleased to hear things are doing better.

It sounds like you have hit the right dosage so I would stick with that but chat things through with your doctor.

Hibee

That's great Wes!
