"i&#039;ve been taking lexapro 10mg (5mg at first to build up slowly) for about 6 weeks.  i did feel nauseous for a few days. i noticed a change about a week after starting.  i take lithium and wellbutrin- but those only seemed to help my anxiety.  i still had intermittent depression- i would just get into these moods where one little thing would put me in a fog of sadness and hopelessness.  i cried a lot, was distracted, and had a lot of negative racing thoughts.  
my provider recommended lexapro since it works on a different neurotransmitter than wellbutrin.  
i just feel normal.  i don&#039;t feel like things are dulled - just that i can control my reaction better.  i can feel sad, but i don&#039;t feel depressed. i don&#039;t dwell on feeling sad."
