lexapro pooped out for me 2 months ago and since then Ive not been successful with anything else. Its the only one that has ever worked for me.

Has any one had any experience with poop out and resolved it? I am wondering if taking Mirtazapine with it could help.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Rosey,

    I was on Mirt for 8 years and it had pooped out on me so have switched to Lexapro about 18 months ago.. it really is different hey. It has been amazing for panic/anxiety phobias etc. Best yet...it did take me ages to settle in to it though as I felt so different.

    How long did they last for you? I am on 15mg but they want me on 20mg.

      It lasted me a year and half. My advice tho is to never stop taking it and go up to the max dose of 20mg
