Some of you heard my Lexapro woes.......not really sure if it was working. Well, it seemed to kick in a bit around week 3, but week 4 now and I am feeling like I am backsliding a bit, or atleast not feeling as good as week 3. Saw the psych and she said to try one more week and then if I didn't feel much better, to go to 20mg Lexapro. If within a week of that I did not feel better or felt WAY sleepy (I was when I first started Lexapro), then to start on Prozac.

Have any of you upped your Lexapro dose from 10mg to 20 mg and if so.........did it help or just give you more negative side effects? I am scared of the :sleeping:
