i started lexapro two weeks ago on 10mg and I felt great!! i felt the best I have ever felt after the initial anxiety side effects. i upped my dosage to 20mg two days ago and it just stopped working?? I'm back where I was before; irritable depressed down in the dumps. i don't know what to do. i was the happiest I had ever been and now im back. I'm terrified and frustrated and panicking!!! I was finally happy and free and able and it's gone. What do I do? Does this get better?

It usually doesn't start working in just two weeks but maybe it did for you. Or maybe it was a placebo effect. Don't really know. My question is if it was apparently working why did you increase the dose? 10 mg is the recommended dose for depression so I don't understand why you went up to 20 unless it didn't work and you wouldn't know that until about six weeks had passed. I'd go back down to 10mg and see if still has the positive effects.
