Things have been going pretty good. I am still not accostomed to the 20 mg lexapro. my mood isn't changing, but it isn't bad. just a lethargic feeling on 20. i am going to see about going back down to 10 mg. have had a little anxiety, but nothing i cannot handle. and, i'd rather be in control of my emotions. actually, i have been trying to break this 20 mg pill down to 15. not the easiest thing to do, it's easy to break it in half, but the other half never comes out even, then one day i might get 17 and the next 15, you know what i mean.??? hope everyone is doing great. Peace out, John

Your journal has really helped me.I have been on 10 mg Lexapro for 8 days and it has really helped me although on the 6 th day i did have an axiety attack and It upset me .So when you went up to 20 It made you worse?
Take good care John. i hope and pray your anxiety eases/fades. i\'m always here for you if you need a friend to talk too. :)
Lethargic. I sort of feel that way as well. During my next appointment, which in a couple of months, I might settle back down to 10mg for a bit. Glad your anxiety has been more manageable.
i use a pill cutter. they are available at any pharmacy. that way i pay for the 20 mg prescription and cut the pills into my dosage of 10 mg. much cheaper.
and i must say, lexapro makes me sleep and sleep and sleep. and then i sleep too much and i can\'t sleep and i can\'t sleep and i can\'t sleep.
but when i went without it i ended up in the er with a panic attack.
best to you!
I wish yo all the bes tof luck. I am not on lexapro for my anxiety so i can\'t say much for that. I still try to control my anxiety but most of the time i just want to freak out and at work all i have everyday when i go to work while at work i have panic attacks and anxiety attacks like crazy. I want to talk to my doctor about it but I am not sure how to go about it. Is there an online test to make sure i have all the symtoms. Again i am here to listen and give support if anyone ever wants to talk.
