I've been on 10mg of Lexapro for about 6 weeks now and I have to say that: Yes it has brought me out of the cellar of depression but other SSRI's have also done that. When I say cellar I mean the extreme depths of feeling low. It has brought me to a liveable coping level I guess you could say. Being that it is a new drug and of coarse my doctor was pushing it, I decided to give it a shot. So far I feel like I'm just floating in limbo and wasting my time and money. As far as being social, I still feel like being isolated and by myself and that is not my normal personality at all. I am usually very outgoing and fun to be around. It also seems to make me extremely unmotivated and isn't helping at all with anxiety. The sex thing: I don't seem to have that much anorgasmia compared to Effexor but I'd rather be a happy camper in general than just be able to have an orgasm. Should I up my dosage to 20mg? Has that been a key difference to anybody? Is Celexa better as it seems that most of the people on this site seem to think so? I'm also taking 2000Mg of Depakote a day. Does anybody else feel that this drug was just something that the drug companies quickly got onto the market? I mean all they did was isolate half of Celexa in laden terms. So basically it seems that Lexapro is a crappier form of Celexa. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
