I don’t even know if its the lexapro since it’s worse than ever back on 5

It may, or may not be. Stopping is the only way to find out. It takes 8 days for escitalopram plasma levels to stabilise after a dose change, or for the med to clear your system after the last dose.

yes, my dr just told me to wait a week.

Me too. If doctors took an extra 5 minutes to explain what to expect from meds, how long ADs take to work, what the potential side-effects can be and what to do about them if they occur, it would make a huge difference. Unfortunately, all too often they say nothing, or worse, dismiss the possibility of problems occurring, leaving the patient unprepared for the reality of life on these meds especially in the first few weeks. Their patients would be much more likely to stay on the meds and support groups would be far quieter. Maybe we should send them a bill for doing their job for them!
