i hope you are doing well. a few questions- how long does it take for the lexapro to kick in= what about the klonopin - do you get woozy from it and are afraid to take it for too long a time - i am very scared right now and need some support please

Elaine,
I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I just got to the board today.
What is going on with you? How are you feeling?
Did you recently increase the lexapro? It seems that for me when I increase it I get a little more anxious for a few days. Other then that it really does take thr full 4-6 weeks to really feel better. I have been on it for almost 3 months but my Dr told me that it takes 4-6 weeks to feel the full effects from every increase.
Are you around the time of your period? That always makes it worse for me.
As far as the klonopin. at first it just made me tired that soon passed. Now I don't even know if its working very well. I think that I may have built up a tolerance to it. I take 1/2 a pill, .25mg. I think that you are taking a whole pill, maybe you are taking too much.
Let me know if you need to chat today. I have few errands to do but I can chat inbetween.
