I seem to be letting every little thing get to me! I talked to my doctor today and told her that I was not doing so well with the Lexapro! She said that I needed to give it the full 6 weeks! I am just ready for this anxiety to be gone. I want to feel normal again!

Hi there, I know you from one of the other boards. I don't recall, but your name looks very familiar. Anyway........I'm also on Lexapro, and yes, you do have to give it some time to work. I know, it's not fun to wait it out, but it does work. I'm still stressed out, but not nearly as much as before. With 3 girls and a fulltime job, some stress is to be expected, but the Lexapro sure helps. Give it a little time.

LOTS OF HUGS............ILKA

I agree with Ilka,

it usually takes 4-6 weeks for meds to kick in sometimes for some people it happens alot sooner but most of the time you need to give it some time to work to its full capacity.

I like you let everything in the world get to me and I have to learn to control it I am sure that you will be fine once the lexapro kicks in and it will calm you a bit.

Is your life very stressful work and what not I know you have a baby and I know that can be a handful at times maybe try to do some yoga or other relaxation techniques it may help a bit excersize also helps out alot.

I visit alot of boards so there's no telling where you've seen me! It's very encouraging to know that someone is having success with Lexapro! I will give it some time.
