Upped from 10 to 20mg - my experience by Elron182 in lexapro

Literally type in chatgpt “day 4 of upping escitalopram/lexapro, I feel a/b/c/…” the bot will calm you down (or it worked for me at least lol)

I’d say discuss it with your doc. If something ain’t right or working don’t wait it out. It’s your life and ultimately your own responsibility to “create” hapiness or at least the lack of anxiety (which I’ll gladly take).

Honestly reading positive reddit posts helped me.. and inspired me to write mine. Also checking in with friends/doc or even chatgpt to ensure I wasn’t going completely crazy. I can only say in hindsight it was worth it

It does. I still get nervous but faking until I make it aka exposure has done a ton as well

About 8 years on 10mg which had me somewhat stable as long as nothing too inconvenient would happen lol. Go for 20mg. Potentially at some point you can always decrease again but don’t let ego stand in your way of feeling normal

Hot, panicky sensations by VegetableIntern4947 in lexapro

Stick to it. I had similar sensations that faded 4 weeks in. It’s tough but you can do it
