> What happened after you stabilized on the Lexapro?
It didn't take long at all to get stablized on Lex my first go with it. I began to notice a gradual improvement in my mood within a week and it just got better from there. I rarely cried and got only mildly bummed out about things from time to time. I can't say I was ever manic in the true sense, but I would get excited about new or fun things. That lasted over two years and I went off Lex thinking I was better. That's when it went bad - very gradually. I was at least 10 times worse going back on Lex this
time than I was two years ago.
It's been a totally different experience for me this time.
I do think I'm getting a good response today. I'm less "amped up" than yesterday with the same dose. I don't feel great, but not lousy either. I hope that's some sign for early poop-out.
