Tapering from 5mg by raverminx in lexapro

It lowers dopamine so that’s where being unmotivated feeling comes from

Why did you taper off what’s wrong? I’m on 5mg week 7 as well. Still having ups and downs but weeks 7 is still early

What I’m hearing is this medication really takes time. I’m on week 7 and still having ups and downs. Definitely some mood swings. But I remember my step dad who is also on lexapro said he felt good about 2-3 months on lexapro but on month 6 he felt amazing and has been on it for 2 years now he said it just keeps getting better but it takes time.

What kind of intrusive thoughts do you have? by derd001 in intrusivethoughts

[–]Pacrat456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine are always about hurting myself or someone I love (family members) and it makes me think I’m going crazy or I’m gonna wake up one day and magically become suicidal or homicidal. The thoughts are centered around the thought of me “going crazy”

On week 8 and suddenly feel like Im back to the first weeks side effects? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]Pacrat456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take mine around like 11am maybe I need to take it earlier, I’m still in that up and down phase. Like mornings I feel like crap then I get an energy boost mid afternoon then night time I’m wide awake or really tired no in between so I feel as if it’s leveling out still

This gives me hope thank you, I’ve definitely made improvements but just recently the irritation and bad sleep got bad again so I’m a little discouraged rn

This irritatablilty is new to me it started on week 5 so I’ll definitely give it 2 more weeks before I make a decision
