> lexmanAre you the same *lexman* that was on Lexapro, posting here before? How long did you give the Lexapro before you quit?
My pdoc told me that most of these type meds take *a while* before your body adjusts to them and befor you get relief. I would imagine prozac would take *a while* also. Lexapro literature says 6-8 weeks, it actually took more than 9 weeks for me to notice that the med was finally working.
I would suggest you talk to pdoc about your concerns, and please give the meds a chance to do their stuff! For me, Lex has been MOST beneficial.
Good Luck!~~~8|8
