Dose question and side effects
Hi everyone, I’ve been taking Lexapro now for about six months and I will say it has completely changed my life. I don’t think I realized how depressed I was until it really started working. I originally sought help for extreme anxiety and also an Ambien addiction (Another story for another day), but Lexapro has helped with all three of those things. Calmed my anxiety, helped with my worry about insomnia, and helped my depression.
Anyhow, they prescribed 10 mg and it does work, but I almost feel like I still get more anxiety than I should, but I don’t want to be completely numb. Has anyone had success with higher doses than 10 mg and if so, can you kind of tell me your story? short version?
Also kind of a weird side effect, but I sometimes catch myself, pressing my tongue up to the roof of my mouth almost like clenching my jaw. It’s really not enough for me to worry about getting off of it because it has improved my life so much but has anyone done that?? I don’t know …not a dealbreaker, but kind of weird. 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks everyone
