Lexapro
Posted: 09-22-05 17:21pm

A week ago my Dr. Put me on 10 mg of lexapro. Does it help? And how long before you saw results? And will it stop me from doubting my fiance'? I asked my Dr. About me and my fiance' and he asked what our relationship was like before all this started and I told him it was great, and it was. But now I don't know if I need to be with him or even if I want to. My Dr. Said that he believes its the depression/anxiety causing it. But i'm so confused. My fiance' knows that we're gonna work out, but I don't. So will the lexapro stop the doubts?

I also recently started taking lexapro a month ago. Everyone feels the effects of the medication differently. Luckily for me, it was clear that I had a chemical imbalance and the medication helped right away. The first week, I was drowsy and miserable, but I stuck it through and now I can say I feel normal. I've been having problems in my 4 year relationship as well. The medication has helped my emotions stay balanced. So for example, in a certain situation, I will react a lot more calm and rationally than when I wasn't on medication. I am a lot less bothered by silly small things. My boyfriend and I were doing very well, but now i'm having doubts again, and I don't think it has anything to do with the medication anymore...I think it's us.

In my opinion, if the medication is effective, it will assist in you getting a handle of your emotions and probably think a lot more clearly. Hope this helps

i took it for a while
i dont remember why i stopped
but dont stop cold turkey! that was the worst day of my life after i stopped

also to the person who asked if you can get high off it
if you take a lot of it, its like speed.

but you probably wont like the effects of it.
