I don’t know what’s wrong but lexapro isn’t working, I will tell my therapist when I have enough money for therapy, but rn what should I do? I’m not feeling better, it feels like I’m taking a placebo.. but at least placebos work sometimes. Should I take 15mg instead of 10? I really need help I’m not feeling well mentally at all
It didn't work for me at 10mg either. I got a referral to a Psychiatrist to discuss my meds and he immediately told me 20mg is the therapeutic dose. I scaled up to 20mg and it still took a few months for my GAD symptoms to subside. He also told me some people go up to 25mg or even 30mg.
It takes a long time to build up in your system and to reach the right level for you. Good luck!
I’ll wait and hopefully it’ll work! thank you
Hang in there buddy, this is a slow acting drug. It took me three months for the first time to work. Then i was stupid and stopped taking lexa for a while and started again a couple of moths a go and now i'm waiting again.
That’s a relief, I’ll wait thank u
You may just need your dose increased. Perhaps your primary care physician could help. Wouldn't hurt to ask.
Someone said it took three months to work so I’ll probably wait and see
That's a good plan. I'm 3 months into 10 mg and it's working for me.
Are you on any other medications? What’s your diagnosis?
No, GAD, but I have a feeling that it is GAD + PDD.
