Hi Roo,
That is exactly what happened to me - first I just felt "flat", then depressed, then had crying spells. The Lexapro worked really quickly. You'll have to let me know how you do on it.
Actually, when I started having the abdominal pain, my doctor was initially going to ween me off of it (Gabitril) and start me on something else at my next appointment. I started only taking one pill (4mg) and the abdominal pain stopped. I didn't want to go completely off of it because I was afraid my anxiety would come back. Since I was still stable just taking the 4mg, we decided to just stay with that dose. By the way, when I was having the pain, Tums would make it go away.
Even though the doctors say there is a proven "theraputical dose", my personal opinion is everyone is different and some people are more sensitive to meds than others. I've heard horror stories of people trying just about every med out there. If the side effects aren't that bad, I would rather try adjusting the dose before giving up. 4mg is working so far...
Let me know how you do and if you have any more questions :)
