I've been on it, it made me so much worse...

[Dollanganger]

really?
i have only had one bad experience with it and my therapist said that I should wait becuase I was still in the waiting period ((the first two weeks))

Everything was talking to me...My friend and I got into a big fight because I wanted her to take my side and then ((please dont think that I am crazy)) but the walls started talking to me and the doors...it was the most horrible experience that has ever happend to me

but that has passed and I have been on it for about a month now..it has been okay but it has make me more anxious than normal

How many milagrams where you on?
Currently I am on 10
are these symptoms normal...if you dont mind..what experiences did you have?

[.Liz.]

I don't remember how many millagrams I was on..this was over a year ago. But I didn't have any experiences like that...it just made me really suicidal.

[Dollanganger]

I have been more suicidal then normal I will admit to that.
But I have been having friend troubles and I am entering high school
I have alot of stress coming from everywhere...
I am seeing my therapist tommorrow...I am going to tell her about everything

[.Liz.]

Good! Tell your therapist everything, it'll get it off your chest and she can help you.

[Dollanganger]

Thank you so much Liz...you are SO helpful

[.Liz.]

No problem.

[Dollanganger]

I am now on 20 milagrams

[lost and broken]

wow ok so I have been on lexapro for a couple years now...at first it made me think more and more about suicide but that passed. After it got worked into my system it made me better. I didnt think about suicide anymore and I wasnt over emotional about things either. Of course I did notice with this medicine that the dosage needs to be taken up more and faster than any other drug I have been on but it also worked the best for me.

When i was on it, it made me manic all the time. That means, I was hyper off my ass 24/7 and I could never slow down. Other than that, it really didn't help my depression, just made me hyper... so, I'm off it now. Depakote ER all the way for me!

I took lexapro. All I have to say is - It's a garbage drug. Hated it.

[Dollanganger]

Lexapro, man the stuffs good, crush two tabs and sprincle it in a joint, that will get you going. Yeah my "therapist" put me on that a year ago, i was cutting, not the smartest move of mine, anyways, it made the cuts deeper, and well its not a med you can take forever, its a temp fix, well i stopped takin it, dont like the feeling of being on drugs i cant control, now i sell that **** to every sucker that wants a fix, it works to slow ya down, chill ya out but after the third pill or so your body gets use to it, oh and it sucks for insomniacs
