Hi All,

I was on the road to recovery by using CBT and the other day I had a bad episode so my doctor said the take 5mg of Lexapro to take the each of this.

So I started yesterday and my anxiety returned 10 folds and now I feel I have slipped back into my old anxious self again and I'm upset.

Has anyone else had this issue ? I'm not going to take this drug as CBT was doing so well. Now I feel all my hard work has been lost.

What should I do ? Since deciding to change my life things have been so good. But this drug has just put me back to square one.. :confused:

thanks

Hey , you cant have a setback unless you made progress so view it like that , well done and keep at it , my opinion is dont bother with the meds , you dont need them , use exercise instead of the meds , it will burn off the adrenaline .

Lexapro doses range from 5mg-30mg. So 5mg is a low dose. You need to keep using the medication everyday for over a month before you can see any reduction in symptoms of the illness you are trying to treat. If you cant tolerate the side effects, talk to your doctor and he/she will give you something else to try.
