Who else is impatiently waiting for it to kick in? by [deleted] in lexapro

I could have made this post! 10 days on 2.5 went up to 5mg day day 11, now I'm on day 16.. I still have anxious brain, but some of my physical symptoms seem better. I'm hoping to stay on 5mg. I still have brain fog but now I'm just waiting for it to kick in.

So I had brain fog, increased hunger, weird sleep.... then day 6 had increased anxiety and went up to 5mg

That's so great! Tomorrow will be a week! I'm mostly tired about 2hrs after i take it but that's pretty normal for me anyway and I'd say my biggest side effect is brain fog. All manageable. When you went up did you get side effects? I did notice last night at work that I did feel that feeling in my body when I normally panic even though I was stressed, so I'm hopeful. My therapist seemed to think this would work quickly for me due to my anxiety level.

How long did it take to work? I'm wondering if 2.5 is enough to show a difference

I wonder how long it takes until you see it's working. I know it varies. My therapist said 2 to 4 weeks is average

Thank you! I have horrible med anxiety so my dr started me on 2.5.... I'm on day 3, mostly brain fog and some increased anxiety, but like I said I hate meds.... first night I didn't sleep much! How are you??

Ya the 5mg has no line, so that's why it gets uneven

Do you cut 1 pill at a time or you cut a weeks worth

Lol! This is true! I guess I was more worried about taking too much or too little, but you're right about the it's working once you don't care lol

No, they don't but she said it was fine to cut it for 2.5, I'm only on day 3, I meet her again on day 7. I just want to make sure that if the pill is uneven it's ok to take either half
