I just started using Lexapro for anxiety and depression and have four days done so far. I have a few questions if anyone is in the know out there. The reason i have anxiety is im a very lazy guy so i freak out and obsess over problems constantly. I realize this isnt good but ummm thats how i usually end up doing something about the problem. Now im feeling less anxious but im getting even less done and i didnt get much done before hand. It annoys me i was prescribed a medicine on my first visit and then not told to come back for 3 weeks as im not sure this is working right(because im poor as hell and no insurance). I also to put it bluntly sexually cant orgasm which isnt very nice since my libido is fine and dandy and i can get excited still. Altho im curious if this isnt in my head cause i took it the first day and 12 hours later it was affecting me in this way already.

As for the depression part of it i feel no different at all. I still have feelings of complete worthlessness and wonder why im still alive. Im not ready to kill myself because my anxiety stops me from doing so. Either someone i care about finds me and gets messed up or someone i dont know finds me and thinks why the hell didnt this dumbass do this 10 years ago? With less anxiety though i dont know. Im thinking more about doing stupid things than less and now im medicated. Im 29 years old and been like this since i can remember.

Should i call my psychiatrist and ask to be put on something different? Or is this just the beginning of the pill getting ready to work? I read on the website for Lexapro that it can take 1-2 weeks or even up to 4-6 weeks to work so i dont want to abandon ship too early but i dont want to sink with it either if that makes sense.
