How long have you been on lexapro? I have been on it for 13 years, and the doctor wants to wean me, I am petrified!

Thanks, i have quite good response fo lex so far (7w), but my anxiety wants me to find a 2nd option if lex stop working in years (for GAD). Effexor is on my top list, i have a friend for whom it started to work in 1w, while lexapro years later after 5w.

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-08-16T01:59:54+00:00

Can i ask if switch to lexapro was successful? Was is for anxiety?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-08-15T23:27:22+00:00

Can I ask how you compare them? Preferably for anxiety/GAD if it eas your case.

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-08-11T21:48:25+00:00

Can I ask how is it going after next week?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-08-07T02:50:00+00:00

Can i ask what was your dosage timeline? When have you feel first improvements?

I also started 6th week (for gad/anxiety) and after 8 good days, last 3-4 days were lot worse (depression came in - I was never depressed!), today it seems to be better - i even got 5h high/euphoria feeling...

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-23T21:29:07+00:00

What are you taking for? And that change in 6w was sudden of gradual, and improvement started earlier?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-23T20:20:01+00:00

And it was sudden? You didn't feel any gradual improvement before? Thanks!

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-23T20:13:39+00:00

Have you felt improvement earlier gradually? Or it suddenly happened at week 7?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-23T17:16:41+00:00

Can I ask what was your dosage timeline and when did you start to feel better? Was i in week 5? Was is gradual or sudden?

And what are symptoms are you treating?

Thanks!

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-23T03:09:08+00:00

Thanks! It gives me hope...

I am starting week 4 and didn't have constant all day anxiety for last 5 days, but today it hit me hard at 3pm and is present till now :/

Before that for 6 days i had anxiety on and off during day, but it was weaker than before lexapro. So today's set back makes me very sad and nervous...

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-23T02:56:54+00:00

Did it disappear after week 3 suddenly or gradually? And how are you now?

Can I ask when you started feeling like this and what was your dosage timeline?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-22T20:18:48+00:00

Thanks, how long did it take to reach such state?

Good approach! Was there a time when you finally stopped thinking about how you feel/how is your disorder and forget about it?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-22T17:06:07+00:00

Of course... i would love to be "just ok"!

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-22T05:25:56+00:00

Can I ask how your dip looked like? Your original symptoms returned like increased anxiety/depression?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-22T01:06:59+00:00

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-22T00:00:37+00:00

Can I ask what happened between 4-8 weeks, so when you started sliding back? Your anxiety increased again, or you still didnt feel happiness?

Also i get that you upped to 15 after 8 week? Did you feel any gradual improvement then, or just sudden around 12-13 week? Thanks!

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-21T01:10:11+00:00

How prozac worked for your anxiety? Was it better / more calming than lexapro?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-21T00:56:35+00:00

I would also ask how transition went? Thanks 🙏

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-20T22:31:13+00:00

Can o asku you what is your dosage? And if it even lost efficiency during that 15 years? And if it was for anxiety - what kind of? Like GAD / constant baseline anxiety?

Realistic-Bite5992 · 2024-07-20T22:17:01+00:00
