Lexapro for major depression and GAD and PTSD

Posted by Hopeless @hopeless, Jun 13, 2012

Dear all,

I just started lexapro, and am now at 20 mg a day, anybody has used this antidepressant? Can you share your experience?

I had not realized. I find that humor is the way to go. I have a strong spiritual side. I am just bombarded and sometimes trapped. I am not a negative person but I do have negative tapes from my severely abusive family and the daily interactions with my husband.

I pray right now that your health will get better. Perseverance furthers. Now that you are making discoveries on how to be healthy use your psychiatrist as a tool to your recovery.

Thank you. I do not really comprehend why now I am so ill except there is a lot of overstress in life. Thank you again!

My doctor had me taking Lexapro for fibromayalgia pain. I didn't really see a difference except that I was losing a lot of hair.

is strange. I had severe fibroidmylgia. My foot specialist ex-rayed my feet. My nerves were being pinched by my ligaments. He removed five. No pain anymore and I walk and swim!

I took Lexapro for a while and it was crazy making. My internist put me on Wellbutrin and it worked much, much better. I had PTSD and anxiety

I waqs tortured and raped by my family which I happily could dissociate from but was raped elsewhere and constantly in a hospital. I am still dealing with this. I see some things that helped. The nurses said I (paralyzed and fifteen) was a slut and wished me fixed. The very positive for which I am forever grateful is that a group of war vets took to guarding me at night.
There are good people out there!

You are going thru alot. Has anyone ever mentioned PTSD to you? After years of searching I was finally diagnosed with something that feels right to me
