A couple of questions.

How many of you are on meds? What ones? How long did it take for them to work?

Before you were on meds, what was the worst part of the day for you? what was the best?

    I am on lexapro (30 mg daily..I take it every night).  I've been on lexapro for four years, but I just upped my dosage from 20 to 30 mg about a week and a half ago.  The upped dosage helped me feel better within a couple of days.  I'm still waiting for the full effect to kick in, but I do feel better.  Before I was on the medication (the upped dosage) the worst part of my day was the morning.  Getting out of bed was torture.  I was so anxious.  It was terrible.  Now, I'm still a little anxious in the mornings, but it's not nearly as bad as it was.  I'm not to the point of panic like I was before.  And my depression, wanting to sleep all the time,  desire to do nothing, has also gotten better.

    I was on Lexapro. Felt better within a week. The worst part of the day was early evening into the night. Best was morning-ish.
