So I was recently diagnosed with OCD, ptsd, anxiety, and major depression. All my Dr put me on was 10mg of lexapro. Been taking it for 2 months and it doesn't do anything but give me night sweats. Has anyone had any luck with all these problems and a certain prescription??? I'm having a horrible time, and I have three young children so I don't want to be loopy or zombie-ish
I clean for at least 4 hrs, work 9 hr shifts, and somehow keep up with 3 little ones and my marriage....im tired of being wonderwoman

Hi Sister3 - have you gone back to the prescribing Dr at all?

She referred me to behavioral health. So I see him every two weeks and he said he doesn't want to medicate me...

I think next time you see him you should tell him it's not working for you.
Maybe print this thread out if you think it would be easier that way?

Welcome! From my experience with SSRI's the most important thing I learned was to communicate how the med was making me feel to my prescriber. I kept a journal for a few weeks and it helped him determine how high a dose I needed and what time of day to take it for the best effect. It also helped me to not give up when I wasn't getting the results I wanted.
