Just recently started having them again for no apparent reason. Anyone else had this happen, or relapsed on lexapro?

A very close friend of mine is on Lexapro as well as a relative.Neither one has seen very good results from it and it's recommended that you switch to a different drug under the supervision of your doctor after a year on Lexapro.I know more people who've had better luck with Cymbalta because it's both a nor epinephrine and serotonin re uptake inhibitor.I have no personal experience with these types of drugs,just observations.

I was on Lexapro for 2 years and recently had to change meds for the same reason. I was told by my Dr. that the expectancy of all antidepressants/anti anxiety meds is from 1-3 years before adjusting. If you're taking the 20mg dosage already than it's probably time for a change. Call your Dr.

You may need to be reevaluated for the dosage. After taking a medication it may need to be increased to provide the effect desired.

your body is too used to the amount your take, probably need to up the dose, see your doctor
