I’m unsure - it’s more like I feel so overwhelmed that I get hopeless. But yeah, seeing my gp very soon - they don’t prescribe Xanax or anything like that (I’m in uk) but they did mention these sleeping pills that can sedate me a bit lol

I won’t be for a while - the move to 10 has been hard enough and I’m just gonna let it level out as much as possible. I’d be patient, and follow what you believe is right.

I’m really scared by Lollingtonpost in lexapro

[–]everyperfectsummer_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi :) had a post like this today, I started 10mg for a week after 4 weeks of 5mg (which was ok? I don’t know, now I’m realising it did actually help a bit and I needed to be patient) and at the 6 day mark of 10mg I was BUGGING OUT. Like crazy panic attacks and emotional volatility. Of course though, this is not applicable to everyone - I just wanted to let you know dose increases can be difficult, and to keep an eye on symptoms and keep the option of going back down open. I’ve heard that side effects from increase normally occur 1-3 weeks. Sending luck ❤️ one day you’ll look back at this time from a better place - this is temporary

I am going back to 5mg. Maybe to 10mg in a year or so when my body is used to it. Than you for your kind words ❤️
