hi guys- rough morning... Day five, of lexapro have been feeling depressed and hopelessness, not happy, not looking forward to anything. Not my self. I called my psychiatrist and she told me to stop taking it right away because it is a bad side effect. I am
Such a mess this morning, crying hysterically no hope. I feel like getting off the meds will be a bad thing. I am in such a bad hole right now.

J,

I am so sorry the lexapro didn't work for you. But rest assured, something will work for you. It will happen! Lexapro was just not right for your body chemistry. Im sorry you are feeling so bad, but please remember, this is only a temporary situation.

Hi JZ.,

I too am sorry to hear this. :(

Did your doctor set up an appointment for you to talk about possible alternatives?

Hopefully you can do this soon...

...until then, use your coping skills (see our Resources if you need ideas) to get you through this time of transition.

Keep posting as well for support!
