In reply to Feeling Flat on Lexapro, posted by KathrynLex on February 9, 2004, at 17:33:25
> Hi,

> I'm starting my 8th week on Lexapro and I feel so flat. It's strange. My boyfriend ruined a new $40 sweater by putting it through the wash (I told him a thousand times not to wash it) and I just can't summon a reaction one way or the other. Ordinarily I'd either be angry or think it was funny - the sweater shrunk to about half it's original size and looks like it was made for a doll. But like I said, I didn't really have a reaction.

> It's a huge relief not to feel anxious or depressed, but I only feel really happy for brief moments during the day. I'm trying not to get discouraged, especially since I'm in the middle of increasing to 20 mg. I know it will take a while for my body to adjust...I guess I could just use a little bit of encouragement. Sorry, this sounds like an echo of Lexy's earlier post about "Lexapro Purgatory." (Hey, at least I have company.)

> K.I too have been on 10mgs of lex for about 4 weeks. Sometimes I feel good, other time I feel flat and anxious. I have also been reading books on cognitive therapy as I know our thoughts are sometimes the worst enemy.
Any words of wisdom?
