I started on 10 mg for a month and it did nothing for me. I went to 20 mg and immediately started feeling better. I am going on 6.5 weeks on it and I feel really really good now. It just takes longer for some. If you still don't feel well after upping the dosage, talk to your doctor about another alternative. I couldn't take Effexor. The side effects were horrid, but everyone is different. You HAVE to keep in close contact with your doctor on how you feel though so he or she can help you. The best part of Lexapro is it doesn't shut down your emotions like Prozac can, it just makes you feel better and more even. It also has a lot less side effects than most other antidepressants.

give it some more time. i was started on lexapro about 2 months ago. and it took me about 6 weeks for it to kick in. some people it takes longer. but again, not ever med works the same for everyone. id say give it a little longer and if you see no results in 2 months, talk to your dr and try something new. theres tons of meds out there. good luck :)

Check with your doctor first. But I know my doctor prescribed Lexapro for me (for my anxiety) and it just made me tired. So it works for some (I guess it depends on your dosage).
It didn't work for someone else I know either.
Just be careful with those anti-depressants, because sometimes they make you worse off then you were. (I only say that from stories I've read, or have heard).

you could try to up the dose. (of course talk to your doc first.) there are many other antidepressants. have you tried zoloft or cymbalta? ask your doc if you can try something else. every person reacts differently to medication. it also doesnt always work right away. you might need to take it a little longer so its in your system more. some medications take 2-3 months before they kick in.
