    I have not taken lexapro with welburuin myself but I have reading a Ton on The internet about lexapro and adding welburuin seems pretty common.

      I understand. I feel like I'm letting a lot of people down. I have only been on Lexapro for a month and it's just starting to work. I think it can be very hard to go from thinking "It's just stress I have to get thru it", to "This is too much I'm calling out sick" to "Ok depression and anxiety like I have are Nit normal, I have ab actual medical problem". That's a hard latter to climb. I bet you were scared when you first starting taki g Lexapro right? I know I was.

      I was and all I can think was hey it worked for my mom it could work for me right but adding a new med is freaking me out I don't want to start with the side effects and the God forbid scary thoughts I just moved and I have a whole apt to unpack and I'm doing it little by little with my fiancé but I feel so much pressure for my depression I guess maybe the new med will help and if it doesn't I can stop it ... What have you been thru which meds do you take ?

      Lexapro is my first med like this. I have avoided my issues until they peeked and I ended up in the hospital for three days. Then when I started Lexapro that first week wad SO bad that I reached the end of the internet reading up. There are tons of forums and good people out there that will tell you their experiences , encourage you and the like. Inwould research it and likely gove it a try.

    If it's not too late I just wanted to tell you to go off the Lexapro very slowly

    or you can get "discontinuation syndrom" which is not a lot of fun!
