Did you ever have to increase your dose?
I started taking Lexapro (10mg) in May. It really started helping a lot after a few weeks. Now, I am having terrible anxiety again. I think maybe I should increase my dosage.
If you did this, did it help you? Did it make you even more tired? Lexapro makes me so tired.
Thanks for the advice.
Re: Lexapro users
I haven't had to increase my dose this time but I did when I was in college when I felt really anxious and was getting panic attacks. It helped me to increase. We did it slowly.
Lexapro makes me tired too but I take it right before I close my eyes to go to sleep....that way I don't really feel the side effects.
Are you talking to someone as well. Like my doctor said "this medicine is only a bandaid for something that goes deep, you need to have therapy as well to completly heal."
Thank you. I also take it right before bed and that seems to help.
I do see a therapist as well. I just don't understand why I'm so anxious. Loud noises make me jump and I just feel anxious a lot. I am supposed to make an appointment with my doctor so I will talk to him about it.
Thanks again :-)
