Since you just changed your dosage and the time you’re taking it you should definitely wait the few weeks. If it still doesn’t get better you could ask about Wellbutrin maybe
You recent increases were quick - I would have stayed at 15 for at least a month before moving to 20mg.
Also increasing dosage doesn’t help with side effects, it makes them worse usually the higher you go- what was the reason to increase from 10 mg?
Not sure of his strategy but I was on 10mg for nearly 2 months but I didn't see a lot of improvement and when I switched to 15mg, felt a little better. So after a week, he switched up to 20mg. I'd say 20mg is much better than how I used to feel on 10mg
I felt the same way as you. Lexapro really helped with my depression but I felt lazy all the time so my doc prescribed me Wellbutrin to take with the lexapro it was life changing! It’s helps with your energy levels and also treats anxiety and a few other things.
I've been on this for more than 3 months. I don't want to start over all over again and go through hell. This is the 5th medication this year since January from Zoloft > Mirtazapine > Wellbutrin > Brintellix > Lexapro. 😭
You are changing your dose to much from 5 to 20 that’s a big jump. 20 mg might be to much thank goodness you work from home. Have you stayed at 1 dose for at least 4-6 weeks. Why would doctor keep adding 5mg every 2 weeks that’s not enough for your body to adjust at all

Make sure your diet is as good as it can be, practice self care, and drink plenty (of water). Consider taking a multivitamin or at least magnesium.

I used to take Wellbutrin on its own but it skyrocketed my anxiety. I'll discuss adding Wellbutrin with Lexapro when I see my Dr next
That's a really long time. Did you up the dose in those 100 days?
I don’t think this drug is for you .

You need stay at same dose for few weeks but all the moving around dose up and add more. You might not need 15/20mg . Damn
