I've been on 5 mg of Lexapro since the end of February and I really don't feel like it's helping. I started on such a low dose because I only weigh 105 pounds and was afraid of the medicine hitting me too strongly. I'm considering going up to a 10 mg, just to see if that'll do me any good. I've held off so long because this is the first time I've taken an anti-depressant, and my anxiety has turned into anxiety over this medicine. I just want to be able to go out and do things without feeling like my stomach is revolting against me or sit down in a restaurant without feeling like I'm going to pass out. I only stay at home and when I go to work, it's a complete battle over my anxiety. If I had the financial security to not work, then I'd never leave my house.
I would just like some advice on what I should do and your own experiences with Lexapro.
Thank you!
