I am on Lexapro for what l thought was seasonal depression, but it turns out it's more than that. I am on .5 mg, but it's doing nothing for me. Should I have my primary bump up the dosage or should l go on something else?
I recently moved up to 10 MG. After a few weeks on new dose I noticed less negative thoughts and I can enjoy more activities than I could a month ago. My doctor said that the 5mg dose rarely works… read more
Anybody else have this problem? I was on 20mg of Lexapro. Although I felt like it was helping my mood a bit, I was very tired all day, even while taking it at night and my eyelids swelled up 2 days after starting it. I've been tapering down and I'm at 10mg right now. I go down to 5mg in a week. Im hoping my eye problem goes away. I will say, I don't feel quite right. I feel anxious even with taking klonopin. Not sure if it's withdrawal symptoms or the Lexapro was really helping my anxiety. Can't… read more
I agree with MAO inhibitors. I try to avoid those at all cost. 😕
I have just been prescribed it..Is it any good and what are the side effects like?
I actually just went off of it. I was on too many antidepressants
Is there any other antidepressants besides Zoloft? I have been on zoloft since 2011 and I am finding that it is not effective like it used to be. What other medication goes Wellbutrin? I started using that in October 22, and it helps a lot. I want to stop taking zoloft. Should I stop taking zoloft or wait for my next appointment? Is it true that if you stop taking your antidepressants, your mood will go from bad to worse?

does it cause weight gain?
I'm taking it up again. It was the first anti-depresant I ever took and I never gained weight from it. As always, consult your doctor.
After many years on different medications, I feel like nothing works for me anymore. Doctor has decided to try a combination of 2 anti depressants together. Just wondering if anyone else takes more than 1 and if so, is it worth sticking it out?
Thanks everyone
