Answers:
Don't jump to a new medication just yet. Ask yourself these questions: Did your diet change.?; Was there a big change in your life.?; Medical issues.?; etc.
I'm on lexapro and have been for about a year and a half. I slipped up and didn't eat much for a few days. It effected me and made it seem like the lexapro wasn't working.

I take Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) in the evening, for depression and anxiety. I've been taking that for over a year and a half, and it's working very well for me.
The Wellbutrin SR seems to help me to be more alert and active - and wanting to do things - while the Lexapro makes me more mellow, and it helps me sleep better, too.
It does take the Lexapro several weeks to reach its full effectiveness, just a couple weeks isn't long enough for it to work (yet). I'd mention that to your doctor - but still give it a few more weeks. It should work.
You didn't say when you're taking it, when I first started taking the Lexapro they had me take it in the morning - and I was very drowsy and sleepy during the day. I switched to taking it at night - and that made a huge improvement.
Best of Luck to you :-)

That was how it affected me. I told my doctor and she doubled the dose to 20mg.
I don't know if 20mg would have worked because after only 6 days I saw a psychiatrist who sent me to a psych ward and redoubled it to 40mg. He should lose his license because he is an idiot.
That high dose sent me to the ER and when I found another psychiatrist she dropped the dose to 30mg.
You need to just wait it out. It sucks having to live like that for another 2 weeks. Health Question & Answer
