Update since Lexapro

Its been 3 days since I started taking Lexapro and OMG, do I feel better! It brought me out of the depression I was in, but it hasn't dulled my emotions at all. Its also helped my anxiety/panic more than anything else has. Just getting off that stupid Buproprion made a world of difference. It caused so much agitation, I didn't even realize it.

I am also taking 300 mgs Lithium along with it, and 2 mgs of Ativan every day.

I'm not manic. I'm not depressed. I'm nauseated and sweating...but those are just temporary side affects til my body gets used to it.

I hope and pray it lasts.

I am glad to here the Lexapro is working for you. When I took it it worked for a long time and like all the meds I take it ends up not working but it did last for about a year with increases. I am on 300mgs of Li too. I haven't had any nausea yet on this dose but I have always sweated a lot so I probably wouldn't know the difference.


That is good news that you are feeling better.
