First Month On 10Mg of Lexapro (Escitalopram) 

hello, can you tell me what was your experience with Lexapro?

Same here

Yeah he’s stoned on anti depressants

@@Jwdude123 antidepressants does not make a person high.

Happy to report that at this time the fatigue has subsided! This week has been particularly rough though and I've had bad depression and anxiety. However I believe it's not related to the medication, but circumstances. Thanks for the encouragement!

@@socalexplorer5033 usually Lexapro is having that impact on moodswings at the beginning and it’s not an easy part to handle it. Just have strenght to overliving it and all be good! 🙏🏻

Any symptoms yet?

@@socalexplorer5033 I feel I'm more anxious especially when I wake up in the morning. It goes away after 2 to 3 hours of taking the tablet. I am still anxious but not having a panic attack. I only experience panic when I'm in a social situation. Decreased libido as well. I'm yawning a lot. Little dizzy but doesn't stay long.

@@vinselvin The same symtoms for me. I use xanax along. I used escitalopram for 2 years in the past for anxiety and depression and it helped a lot. Stopped for nine months and I am back again with massive anxiety.The thing us I had this since a young kid but 3 years ago I treated it) The thing is i am on 2.5mg and made me worse.I quit 2 times.Doctor said I go for 1.25 for a week and use xanax along. The strange part is when I first started escitalopram in 2018 I went from 2.5mg for 2 days to 5mg for 2 days and straight to 10mg without any panic attacks,just tiredness.But I used it along xanax. So I am doing the same again now because I cannot stand the panic attacks it is giving me.It is the third day now on 1.25mg.I hope everything goes well. P.s: My doctor let me know that I can have a dna test which will reveal the proper medicine for me.Look it up. I will go ahead and do it just to be sure.

@@hakgar how are you?

@@fabulouslivinglife I am really good right now!Thank you for asking!

How are you na?

You're currently on 10mg and your gp is suggesting you go up to 20mg?

@@socalexplorer5033 that's right!

@@88Dionisio I've heard from many others that it takes about 4-6 weeks to start seeing results. Although my experience was vastly differen't, I still had the mindset of not changing dose unless I literally felt 0 improvements. Personally, I think therapy has helped me just as much to be able to process my thoughts and learn about anxiety in general.

not enough to be balding, but yes. I always thought it was just a part of being older so I'm still not sure if it's related.

Are u still loosing hair or was it just a side effect n now your normal

Hang in there bud! For side affects the first week or two can be a bit tough.

@@socalexplorer5033 Yeah, My sleeping pattern is messed up, and I had this weird sensation last night on my body. How are you now?

Hey, did the fatigue go???

@@newleft2254 Mine did. I'll be making an update video tomorrow and hopefully, have it uploaded by tomorrow night.

@@newleft2254 yeah after 3 weeks Im back to Normal

What time do you take it at?

@@socalexplorer5033 in the mornings. I use to take at night but I get back anxiety because I'm not doing anything to keep me busy. Buy I do feel ita working I slowly start to feel like myself and in peace time to time.

@@erikgarcia6181 Gotcha. Same for me. I started at night for the first few weeks, but had to switch to day as well.

@@socalexplorer5033 why did you switch to days ?
