Lexapro is the drug I take. I take 20 mg each day. It has worked great for both my anxiety and depression. It's also the only drug I take for mood. Give the Lexapro some more time to work. The starting dose is 10 mg, but some doctors will start people on 5 mg and then go up to 10. Have you been on 10? Give it at least a few weeks to work.
> > About 1 1/2 years ago my doctor put me on Zoloft for depression and anexity attacks but they were not severe, and it was great for awhil, but towards the end my anexity started to come back and even worse. So my doctor then upped my meds on zoloft. Boy that was a bummer I blew up like a balloon and made me tired all the time.. So she then started to whim me of the zoloft to about 50mgs and then started me on wellbutrion. after one week of being off the zoloft with no withdraw except some mood effects she then put me on buspar for the anexity part and the wellbuterion for the depression. I did not notice a difference of being on the buspar at all, I was taking that for about 7 weeks. So she then kept me on the wellbutrion and but me on the lexpro. I have been taking it now for 8 days, and to be quite honest I have not expierenced any side effects at all. Does this mean this is another med that does not work for me. I do not like trying out all these meds not knowing what will work ya know. Its kinda fustrating. Im still having the mood to where everything bothers me, nothing is really funny to me any more, and I jsut dont care what I look like. I never used to be like that. I am 23 years old and I always liked getting dressed up to go out and now....i dont care.. Can some one try t ohelp me to relate to whats going on?
