> Hello. I started on Lexapro one week ago (10 mg). So far, side-effects are not too bad. A little nausea, fatigue, etc. Basically bearable. This is the first medication I have tried for depression/anxiety.

> My question is this--I think I am already noticing some relief, but I am SO preoccupied with whether it is working that my judgement is clouded; the focus of my anxiety/worry has partially shifted to whether or not I am feeling better. Has anyone experienced this? If so, once the meds truly start working, do issues like this clear up to some extent?

> I am optimistic about this drug, but could use a little advice/reassurance on this front. Thanks.


Hi! I also started Lexapro one week ago, 10 mg a day. I also think that I can feel a difference at this point but still find myself acutely aware of the situations where I would normally feel panic, waiting to see if the medication works or not. So far, I'm doing ok with the panic and coping with the side effects (drowsy and foggy feeling).
I hope that you will continue to post here, especially since we can compare notes! :)
