Lexapro and self-harm

Posted by Noni on March 28, 2004, at 2:11:05

I've been reading messages on here and wondered if anyone had experience of self-harm actually increasing with Lexapro. I was cutting myself before beginning treatment, but since starting on 10mg a day of Lexapro about four months ago, the cutting has actually increased. Not sure if this is just circumstance-related (workload, loneliness, Master degree deadlines etc) or a result of the drugs. I have just started taking 15mg a day, at my doctor and psychologist's suggestion, and feel brighter; hope it decreases the urge to cut (getting tired of wearing long-sleeved shirts in a hot climate!).
I know this isn't a self-harm forum, but wondered if anyone had any experience or advice. Also how people react to the scars when they see them - worried about losing my job but tired of feeling ashamed and hiding everything.

Thanks,
Noni
