Re: Lexapro for Agoraphobia
Well done for going into a shop that’s a really big deal :)
I was on Escitalopram (I’m in UK) for 13 years, stooped back in Feb as felt fab but big mistake as come April/May and bang.....anxiety just hit me really bad to the point I even struggled to do the school run.
I was so scared about going back on Escitalopram due to possible side effects so like you started really small....I cut my 5mg into 4 then even chipped away at that quarter so that’s what I’ve been doing since June, though last Friday I did manage to take a whole quarter and have been doing so since. I know I should go up to 2.5mg from tonight.
Sorry that was a bit of a long winded essay lol.
Anyhow when I took Escitalopram previously it helped me immensely to the point I was able to live a real normal life and do normal things like go to the shops out for meals days out etc etc. I can’t wait to feel this feeling again! Though I do feel like I have progressed slightly. At what mg did you start to notice feeling slightly better?
Re: Lexapro for Agoraphobia
Hello! Thanks for your reply!! So far, I seem to have noticed an effect at 10mg. It took me awhile to get to the 10mg but now that I am here I think it is having a positive effect! I hope that it kicks in soon for you!!
