Gaps in taking Lexapro, anyone had problems?
Hi, new to the group. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety
disorder last year. I was prescribed lexapro and have been taking my
full amount since Sept last year. I also went to a psychologist for
several months until she said I was doing fine after several months.
And I was doing good.
However, over the summer, there were lapses in me taking the
medication, at one point it was a 2 week period where I had not taken
a dosage. I saw my dr. and she had me start again at a lower dose for
a week and move back up to my regular. Did that for a week and then
lapsed for 4 days. I am back taking it at a regular dose.
Unfortunately, I seem to have had a relapse of my depression and
anxiety. Yesterday was bad and it seems to have started all of a
sudden. There were some triggers that had happened in a couple of
days previous to yesterday. I am going to see my psychologist
tomorrow. Today is not as bad as yesterday only small periods of
anxiety. Yesterday I could not stop crying and was completely
stressed all day.
Has anyone had a problem such as this? Did you get through it? I
would like to hear from someone who has had this.
