maybe lexapro isn't the right med for you. you should talk to your doc and let them know you are feeling worse even after the bump up in medication. i went through something similar with paxil instead of changing the meds they just kept bumping the dose and i eventualy became suicidal because the med was wrong for me. please keep track of your symptoms..feelings of depression, anxiety, fear, fatigue, strange dreams, etc... report them all to your doctor immediately. alot of your problems could be that the meds are not right for you. i am now on effexor and feeling much better and it is a safer drug also. i hope things work out for you. and im sorry you are having such a tough time. i've been there and its hard to cope. try not to feel guilty or like a failure. depression and anxiety are things we sometimes cant control so dont blame yourself for every little thing. sorry to hear about your pet and i wish you and your family the best of luck. keep your head up and try to think positive. things will get better.
