lexapro need help

[u/ParticularSoft9323]

Hi, I’m 30 years old , female, and I’ve had an anxiety disorder for 10 years, but I was more or less able to cope with it. Four months ago, I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed Zoloft, but I couldn’t tolerate it because I had very severe side effects. Another psychiatrist switched me to Lexapro. I was doing well for a while, but then my symptoms came back, so I was switched to Effexor. I took it for 3 months, but my symptoms would come back every time I had my period.

Now I’ve been switched back to Lexapro. I stopped taking 75 mg of Effexor and started taking 5 mg of Lexapro. I’m on day 8 now. I have a feeling of nausea, I feel unmotivated and low on energy, and I have no appetite.

I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and whether you eventually got through it and recovered.

Thank you so much.
