Alone in a crowd. I have felt that way the majority of my life. It has only been in the past few years that the feeling has subsided in me. I don't know how long you have been on the Lexpro but it does take several weeks for an anti anxiety/depression drug to get to a theraputic level in the system. Don't give up before you have given it a fair chance. It may turn out that the medication works great for you or you may find it is not the one for you. Either way stay in communication with your doctor. Be honest about how you are feeling. Voice these concerns to him/her. They can only treat what you tell them. A depression medication at a therapuetic level will relieve the depression. Will it make all the problems in life go away? No, it wasn't made to do that. Are you seeing a therapist? They often times can help teach the tools of living with mental health issues such as depression. You are not alone. There are many of us who fight with depression. I have had to change depression medications every few years because at some point for me they have stopped working. The last one I was on was Lexpro. I had really good results with it for a while. I am currently on Cymbalta. It is working well right now. Be an advocate for youself with your doctor. You know better than anyone how you are feeling. Let you doctor know.
