15mg Lexapro - but how long until positive or any effects?

Still have shaky tremor hands, slight jaw clenching and anxiety STILL high... Urghhh so tired of it....

If my abacus is correct, you're now at 9 weeks since first taking 10mg, Lisa, so if the med is going to work then you should begin to notice at least the beginning of an improvement in the next week or two. The jaw clenching may be the last side-effect to go as it and the Lexapro Yawn tend to hang around like unwelcome guests.

Thanks PDU

Yes timing sounds about right. It’s practically been my whole uni semester - it’s been majorly tough going through this.

Would all the chopping and changing of dose set me back a bit though?

In theory it shouldn't as you didn't drop below the therapeutic dose range, but in practice it can't be ruled out. ADs can be unpredictable because of the way they work. But even in the worst case it shouldn't add more than a couple of days.
