I took lexapro sometime last year before summer. I dont remember the mg's, but took it in the morning and at night. It made me more depressed,suicidal and made my anxiety alot worse.

I dont remember the first anti depressant i took, but i think lexapro was around the third one. After that i was tried on 4-5 maybe more. I gained weight, 30lbs, from one or more of those.

They all had the same effect on me as far as being more depressed, etc. So i was put on mood stablizers and klonopin. Then dx'd bipolar. Its gotten better since that change.

I wish you good luck with the lexapro.
