> I'm not feeling any improvement. also i have lost my appetite and am still having horrible panic attacks. my greatest wish right now is to just get a good nights sleep! my GP prescribed the 10mg. of lexapro and it's my first time taking anything. i don't know what to do - any suggestions? what will happen if i just stop taking it?

From what I have read on this board it is NOT a good idea to stop taking this med "cold turkey", as it may cause worse SE's. If you are serious about stopping, do it gradually.

However I agree with the other posters that it is too soon to tell anything. My depression and anxiety got worse around 4-5 weeks, made me question what was I doing and whether Lex would ever work AT ALL. But I stuck it out because of the encouragement I got from the great people on this board. Around week 9 I was finally sure Lex was working and I have steadily improved since then.

So I will now encourage you to hang in there a little longer and give it a chance. Best of luck~~~8|8
