Mariposa-
First of all thank you for all of your posts..your updates on your progress are a great comfort and inspiration to me!

I have a question for you though can you please outline what the "timetable" for your progress on Lexapro has been? I took 5 mg for one week..and have been taking 10 mg for 3 1/2 weeks since...I notice that I feel better kind of in fits and starts..kind of a 2 steps forward one step back kind of thing..like I feel better and then kind of plateau for a while..get frustrated and feel a little worse...but then move to a new and better plateau..what was your experience like in your first couple of months on Lexapro?

A second question at my point in where I am I kind of look at it as the "halfway there" point (4 1/2 weeks)...is that an accurate assessment?

> Brief background - started Lex in Feb after years of fighting depression, PMDD, insomnia, and after a death in the family. We spent last Dec. moving into Mom-in-law's house to try to take better care of her, and then she went and passed away on my birthday as hubby and I tried to give her CPR while waiting on EMS...tuely TRAUMATIC! Currently @20mg. Work in retail, customer service.

> X-mas time as we all know is the most hectic and stressful time for us in retail, VERY busy and lots of upset customers. And I got through it all with no customer complaints (on me). Was able to deal w/any problem with a smile and a good attitude, made a lot of people feel better, and got compliments on my *x-mas spirit*! What a difference when compared to last year when I had NO LEX and I was a miserable mess.
