[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 75871, member: 3444"] Some people get very wired on Lexapro -- it did that for my mother, but not for my son. Everyone's different. There are LOTS of other options out there, so be candid with your doctor about how you're feeling and press for an alternate if you're not satisfied. Also, it can take a couple of weeks for antidepressants to take effect. And it may even take a few months to work out the right dosage for your particular needs. Often, they are prescribed to take in the evening before bed because sedation can be a side effect (might be the loopiness you describe). This usually wears off after you've been on it for a while. Frankly, it doesn't sound like Lexapro is the best fit for you if it's making you feel so strange. When I first started my antidepressant medications, it took about 4 to 5 days before I really noticed ANYTHING. But after a few weeks, I was really starting to feel good -- I remember thinking that I didn't realize just how bad I felt until I started to feel good again [img]:smile:[/img] I know what you mean about feeling like you're a single parent when you're really not. I didn't have a very good support system back then either (or now, for that matter). That program will be very helpful for you. [/QUOTE]
