In reply to lex and time of the month?, posted by want info on March 2, 2004, at 14:27:07
Hi!
I feel like I am the queen of the that time of the month post so I'd behappy to answer!.
For me the lexapro did not make much of a difference till about week 5 or 6. It also seems to lose its effect around my time of the month which for me is a PMDD sitiatuon lasting close to 10 days. I am increasing my dose to 15mg to see if I can easier deal with the PMDD.
My depression was brought on by birth control pills so I feel a little homrmonally out of whack.
My first period on lexapro was over a week late and it felt like someone was re-wiring my brain, one second I would be happy then I was crying for no reason. This month was much better but still not where I wanted to be.
Also on lexapro I began light spotting between periods. At this point I just want to get back to me again.
The depersonalization thing happened to me about the first 5 weeks I was on lexapro. I felt very spacey all the time. I remember being in target one day and feeling like I was on an illegal drug or something, everything was just really sureal. I upped my dose today so I am actually feeling a little bit of that again. It does go away so do not worry!
Good luck, feel free to ask any question you can think of here!
Lexy
