upped my meds

i was taking 10 mg lexapro. i have so much oing on in life right now - surgery coming up in november, needing to move in with my parents, my husband being sick, being on short term disability, that my dr was afraid that all the progress i've made in the last month would backslide so she put me on 20 mg. i kind of hate it bc i feel like a failure. i know she's right. even thinking about everything coming up throws me into a tailspin of a panic attack. but i still feel like a failure.

    This doesn't have to be permanent. Just a little something extra to keep you feeling better. You are not a failure. Once things calm down, you can reduce it.

    Don't look at it as failure, you're doing what's best for your family. That's a great thing.

    Hugs to  you.. I hate telling people what I have going on in my life because that panic-attack waiting to happen feeling comes upon me.. And I just started my medication again. If it is any consolidation, please know you are not alone and I'll be praying for you!
