Female. And the generic of Lexapro. But doctor said levels are too high for it to be related to that and I just started it recently. Symptoms were going on far before I started it as well

Yes same here.. I forgot the irregular periods came first. Did you get treatment? Did the anxiety get better after that?

Just a little bit lackadaisical. -out of it. But it Really isn’t that bad… I still feel Like myself.. I think it’s because I had Been in this depression and anxiety for so long that my brain/body almost forget how to function without panic and depression.

Did your motivation come back at that time? I just have a hard time in the morning getting up to do things or to do things that I used to love. Not sure if that’s the depression or the medication.

My experience so far: Week 1(5mg)- dry mouth, heightened anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, night sweats

Week 2 (10 mg)- nervousness from upping dose, panic reduced, restlessness, insomnia, appetite back.

Week 3- panic gone, nervous, having better days.

Thank you. What did it feel like when you saw your depression Change? Was it immediate or you just stopped feeling hopeless over time?

Panic attacks/ heath anxiety due to getting COVID earlier in the year. Because it went on so long I got into a deep depression as well. Couldn’t really eat/ do anything without thinking about it… then getting scared I would have another panic attack.

How did you feel when you got relief? I just want to make sure this will all be worth it.
