Two things about lex. I started at 5mg and bumped up to 15 gradually. I didn't have too much trouble starting up, in fact I began to feel better on week 2. Weeks 2 and 3 were good, but now i'm beginning to feel really depressed. More so than I was before the meds. I have tried increasing and decreasing my dose. My doctor said Lexapro is a faster-acting antidepressant and should start working within 2 weeks. It's almost been 6 weeks and i'm feeling depressed. Time for a switch?

Also, about 3 days after starting Lex I have had horrible back pain and headaches. I don't know if it's coincidence or if it's from the lex. I've never had back pain this persistent and I don't recall hurting it at all. Has anyone else had back pain or headaches 6 weeks into Lex?
