lexapro started working for me about 14 days in. i had GI problems before starting and they were associated with anxiety. the first week i was on 5mg then after 7 days went to 10mg and i thought that worked well until it didnt. i became very SUI and pdoc then upped me to 20mg. only side effects i really had were headaches and nausea but as long as i drank a bunch of water i was all good. now my dose has been lowered to 15mg and 100mg og Wellburtin added to counter the lethargy i began to feel on just lexapro.

ive had a lot of down days but better than the last 15yrs. but now im beginning to think with my random good days evrey now and then it may be more than depression and anxiety.
