UPDATE LEXAPRO

Hi LM.,

Sorry to hear that you are struggling with unwanted thoughts.

This may be a temporary s/e of your med..
or simply an anxiety symptom randomly passing through...it's hard to say..

...either way, we have some therapy worksheet downloads and OCD intrusive thought exercises in our Resources here.

These are helpful in working through this troublesome issue. Find them at the top.of the main page.:)

Best wishes, and hoping you find relief soon!

S.C.

Hi

I hope you are feeling a bit better today.

Starting medication can cause a spike in your symptoms for the first few weeks until your system gets used to the new medication. I would stick with things if you can but if your symptoms do not improve over the next few days go back and speak with your doctor.

Lexapro is a good medication imo and works well for anxiety.
