I'm new to this site, but I've gained a lot of information by reading previous posts. I've been on Lexapro 2 months and 1 day, although it has made a positive difference with my anxiety and depression, I still am not 100% after 2 months. I still have a touch of the blues and what I call the woosies (A dizzy, unreal, feeling). I'm now taking 5mg of Lexapro. I was taking 10, then 15, finally 20. I experienced an increased in the woosie feeling, constant diarrhea, and increased depression after increasing my dosage. I maintained 20 mg for about three weeks, before I decreased to 10, then 5mg. I've only met one other person on Lexapro who said that it took her 3 1/2 to 4 months before she felt simply "MARVELOUS". Are there any others out there, or should I be considering switching to something else?
