| Little scared to medication!
I just started taking Lexapro last week and it is already helping a little bit. But it seems like I am more stressed in the morning and start feeling better in the afternoon. Is this how it starts working in some people? I have some Xanax too and sometimes take a half when I feel like I need. I'm hoping there are some people who DON'T have a really bad experience getting off of it. Is there anyone who did not have a lot of problems? I had a bad experience with Zoloft so I was scared to start another drug. Any advice?
Please help! |

I've taken Xanax before and never had any problems, but never tried Lexapro. Like many drugs you have to take them for a while for them to start working fully. Since you've just started I would wait a while to see if the morning stresses go away. My guess is they will.

i agree, i would wait a while and the morning problems should go away. everyone reacts differently to drugs i would not give up just yet. just because one drug did not work well does not mean another won't as well.
you wouldn't stop dating women alltogether because of one bad relationship would you?

You should look for natural treatment of asthma. I read a book called asthma free
naturally as written by Patrick McKeown. That this book is available online and
details the Buteyko breathing method for asthma. He teaches Buteyko Breathing
Clinic and many other methods. Have a look at asthmacare ie You would
surely be benefited. | |

Feeling any better Edgar? Do not get worried about one bad incident. Every drug works different with different side effects.
