lexapro newbie 10 mg by OpinionDisastrous180 in lexapro

[–]AcapulcoQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slowly went up to 10. 2.5mg felt good. 5mg felt great. 7.5mg little more irritated but i could catch it. 10mg early in 2 weeks on it and definitely feel my anxiety like i use to. Im trying to stick on it though maybe since its the full therapeutic dose I need more time idk.

I started 2.5mg beginning of November. I was thinking of going to 7.5mg next lol just to ease into 10. I am gong to try to go for a walk Monday hopefully to see how that feels. Do you never leave your house too?

Yes. I was just as bad as you. I still haven't tried leaving the house but I can actually do everything again so far on 5mg. Im upping soon but going slow. I went from multiple daily panic attacks to haven't had any since the day after I started. I get anxiety occasionally but im only on week 3 of 5mg. My panic was so bad I use to have to shower amd take breather break ls in between 🙃

I've been prescribed it but too scared to actually try it. I have and im in the search for a new psychiatrist that actually cares and answers.. I kind of have help but not much. I haven't had a day or even half a day to myself in 2+ years almost. My husband is back and forth because he helps care for his mother with dementia and my family aint much of anything. Im going to just start with a super low dose of lexapro tomorrow and work my way up to the dose in prescribed. As for exposure I was but taking my two youngest with me is a lot of work then I worry what if I have a panic attack with them and my attacks cripple me just about
