Lexapro for 1 month
I've restarted lexapro/ cipralex after being off it for three months and suffering a very severe relapse. I'm so so scared it doesn't work. I've been on 10mg for 1 weeks and 15mg for 3 weeks and still nothing. I'm literally crippled with anxiety. Any positive stories about restarting the same med and it working well the second time round? I'm also 13 weeks pregnant.
