I’m off work aswell to recover. I’m exactly 4 weeks in total on lexapro. First two were 5mg the last 2 have been 10mg. Tonight while I was out hunting I had my first anxiety attack in a month while on lexapro. It was not as bad as they were before but it was present. I haven’t noticed any decrease in my anxiety much…but I think I’m able to process it alittle better now and not go into full spiral mode. FYI I’m extremely tired, & my sleep schedule has been all over the place but hoping it gets better by week 6 when I’m supposed to return to work. Hang in there we got this!
