Thanks Laura. I am using lexapro now for two weeks. I'am in the middle of a severe depression and my anxieties are getting worse. Did you experience the same?
Hi! So sorry to hear that your anxieties are getting worse! Two weeks is a very short time to see if it works, but it must be so difficult that you have to go through this first :(. For me, I gladly didn’t notice an increase in anxiety first. But that doesn’t mean that Lexapro isn’t for you. After about 6 weeks you have to notice a difference though. And otherwise maybe discuss with your GP if you can try a different SSRI. I wish you all the best! You got this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Habibi! Yes, it may take a while before you notice the benefits. For me it was quite fast I have to say, after two weeks I already noticed the positive effects 💜
Amazing that the medication is helping with your anxiety already. It could be placebo but on the other hand it could also just work for you this quickly. Everyone responds to medications differently after all. I hope the effect remains in the long run and that those side effects stay away! Best of luck!
Hi Paul! I was also surprised with how fast it worked, but I really notice a difference, so that's very exciting :). Thank you so much for your kind words!
@@lauravoorberg I was also wondering, are you still religious? And if so does this help you in your struggle with anxiety? Maybe you do not feel like answering these questions which I would totally understand as well.
@@pauldevereaux5537 Hi Paul! No, I really appreciate the question! I am still religious, but I am not super active... So, it is difficult for me to gain strength from this if I am being honest. Sometimes it does, it can give me some mental peace, to put things in perspective. But the physical part of the anxiety was just as present. Now with the medication I notice that I just don't feel that restless and anxious anymore :).
@@lauravoorberg it is nice to hear that you have not lost your faith even though your physical symptoms of anxiety remained a challenge throughout your life. Hopefully, the medication keeps helping you with that. Btw I actually posted a cover of a religious song on my channel haha. Maybe you even know that one. Have a great day!
No, never had any issues with insomnia. I think I even sleep better. But in the beginning, the first few weeks, you could be experiencing some trouble with sleeping. But for me I didn’t notice anything!
Totally empathize with the ‘stuck in fight or flight’ thing. So happy you are out of that.
Thank you Ian! ☺️👏🏻

The medication works really good the only problem is that it is time consuming at least 4 weeks to fully feel the effects.

I also was really scared to try medication, but I’m happy I gave it a try ☺️. But do what feels right for you 👏🏻. All the best! 💕
What are your thoughts on medication for anxiety? Ever considered taking medication? Let me know! ☺️
Lexapro never woked for anxiety klopomin does❤
Did it give you insomnia? How about constipation/diarrhea?
No, no insomnia and a bit of diarrhea in the beginning 😅.
@@lauravoorberg it’s interesting how it affects people so differently with some being so lethargic and constipated.
Hairloss ?
I don’t notice any hair loss! :)
