Cyberpunk Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I was taking Lexapro for a few months, but I told my doctor it alleviated the anxiety a bit, but I still had no energy or motivation, so he switched me to Venalfaxine. It's been a few weeks and I still feel the same. Only random bursts of energy, usually pretty late in the day. I felt absolutely AWFUL the first week I was on it, but the side effects have seemed to subsided.I still don't notice much of a difference. I'm still anxious and depressed. I'm wondering if medication even works at all?I do like these pills because I'm uninsured and a 30 day supply only costs me $16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Lexapro takes a while. Give it a month or so. For me the improvement was gradual. You may have to up your dosage, but discuss that with your doctor.And, if it does not help, then try something else. Be careful to wean off of lexapro slowly. Sending hopeful thoughts, jmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberpunk Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi Gonamath,I'm on 125 mil a day. I don't eat much, maybe once a day, but when I do I gorge on bad food. I sleep all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
