I’m on lexapro and it about a month itself to be on lexapro but only a week to be on 10mg . This Friday 1/ 16 will be 2 weeks . How many weeks does it take to get rid of the side effects and to feel no anxiety or depression? i feel like I’m on a roller coaster ! 😭

  • It took me somewhere in the 3-4 week neighborhood.

    One night I realized I was just happy. I was surrounded by my husband, children, and my father was over for dinner and I was cleaning up with my husband and just happy. Not stressed out about everything past, present, and future. It was so surreal. Suddenly I was able to make and take phone calls. I felt like myself again - the person I was 15 years ago - capable, confident, and happy. I had no idea how much I was truly suffering until it disappeared.

    I wish you the same results!

    I go back to work tomorrow, so extra anxiety today because after two weeks home I hoped to feel better

    Urgh… I’m here too. I’ve got another week and hoping the anxiety goes before then. You are not alone.
