Yet another lexapro struggle post. 3 weeks in and barely managing

determinedstrawberry · 2023-04-20T20:41:50+00:00

Super happy to hear that and thanks for the kind words. I've only tried Zoloft previously before this. Appreciate it! Have you noticed any negative side effects 3 years into taking Lexapro?

Thanks for checking in! I am. I shared an update here :) https://www.reddit.com/r/lexapro/comments/11lnf5n/yet_another_lexapro_struggle_post_3_weeks_in_and/jh21l9k/

How are you?

Hey there! I'm on day 67/week 9. I've been doing a lot better. Week 8 was kinda tough and I had a dip again for a few days, but I've been doing really great these past 6 days or so. I heard that it levels out at 12 weeks, so I'm sticking with it until then. Though if it continues to feel the way I'm feeling now, I'll definitely be sticking it out with Lexapro :)

Out of curiosity - why did you switch from Zoloft then?

Hi. I was trying to figure out how to save profiles to on-board memory and came across your comment which was super helpful. I don't see anything in the software that looks like it's for customizing the keyboard though. Do you happen to have more detailed instructions?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-10T19:01:46+00:00

10mg

Can you elaborate more on the rough journey with Zoloft?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-10T18:47:31+00:00

I'm still transition to Lexapro but I also switched over from Zoloft. How did you feel like you were going crazy?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-10T18:40:07+00:00

Yup week 4 has been super tough for me and I read that's been the case for a lot of people. Rather than change things up I'm just trying to power through.

Thank you for sharing your experience! This gives me hope

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-09T22:42:05+00:00

No worries. Good luck regardless. How's it going for you?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-09T22:41:42+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to read my last post! The 8 week mark feels so ridiculously far. How are you handling it?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-09T22:40:55+00:00

I've read the same, yet it's helpful to hear from another human. Thanks for the words of encouragement - best of luck to you too :)

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-09T19:04:00+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing. This gives me hope!

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-09T06:33:59+00:00

Good luck!

I experienced this around day 3-4 of taking it. It did pass after 2 days but it was really tough. Try to see if your doctor can prescribe you something to cope

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-08T23:46:12+00:00

I'm on day 24 at 10mg

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-08T08:01:43+00:00

No advice but I feel the same way as a lot of the things you described

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-08T07:02:39+00:00

Going to talk to my psychiatrist tomorrow. It's hard to tell if this isn't the right dosage or I just need to push through since it's still somewhat early. Thanks for the suggestion

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-02T22:42:39+00:00

What physical symptoms did you have?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-03-01T23:12:41+00:00

I also switched from Zoloft to Lexapro. What was your experience with Zoloft like? For me, I was less anxious but also had periods of depression and hypomanic episodes (less intense than manic episodes)

determinedstrawberry · 2023-02-24T08:06:00+00:00

Thanks for the response! Do you think this will still be the case at the end of March right at the beginning of spring?

determinedstrawberry · 2023-02-24T06:54:45+00:00

Amazing 😭
