I switched to Lexapro from Citalopram about 10 months ago. I was taking 10 mg but this was increased to 15mg in December of 2021. This was due to increase in anxiety and OCD and I have absolutely hit burn out as my job is pretty stressful.

I was signed off work last Monday as I explained how much I was struggling with feeling overwhelmed and anxious.

I知 currently finding I am numb and don稚 really care about anything, including feeling apathetic to life in general. Sometimes I知 fine and others I知 so low and empty I contemplate calling Samaritans or similar for someone to talk to as it is nearly always late ag night!

My question is after 6 weeks of an increased dose should I not be feeling better? Or is it normal to feel like this?
