Hi Ladies.  My daughter will be 12 weeks on Monday, and I am just now admitting that I have not been myself for a while now.  I started Lexapro yesterday, and I have an appointment with a counselor soon, too.  I'm hoping it will help with my anxiety and sadness.  We had a cross country move when DD was six weeks old, and I am a full time grad student and my DH is on the job market . . . I have just been a wreck.  

Sorry this is rambly and incoherent . . . I just wanted to say hi.  Anyone else doing counseling and/or Lexapro?  Words of wisdom for me?

I am doing counseling and Prozac. But the prozac only seemed to work for a bit then my dose got upped and now I feel horrible. But therapy helps and if you find the right med(which hopefully you did) then you should be fine. GL and welcome

Hi. Welcome! Sorry that you are having a tough time. It sounds like you are doing the right thing. Not all medications work for everyone either so you may have to try a few before you find something that works for you. I'm on prozac but I have tried them all. Some do nothing for me while others work for a while and then poop out. I have had lots of major life changes all at once too (move, DH new job, marriage, baby, etc) Good luck!
