As you guys know through my past posts I have been dealing with anxiety along with some mild depression.. I have been on 5mg of Lexapro for 6months which was helping me keep some what mellow up until a few weeks ago.
I just feel blahh, tired, out of it and anxious, esp at night and first thing in the morning.
I called my Psych MD who said I could increase the Lexapro to 10mg seeing that 5mg is really not a therapeutic dose..
I sit here debating to take my 2nd 5mg pill b.c in the summer my DH and I would hopefully like to try and start a family..what if this makes it more difficult to do so..coming off the med or switching to another one. Im desperate to feel better but also worried about what new problems this may bring on..
I think I know I need to try the increase dose and talk about kids and what to do when I start feeling better..if I start...
sorry to babble just looking for some insight.. Thanks so much!

Do what you need to do to take care of yourself now.
Once you start feeling better then you can work with your doctors to come up with a plan that will be safe and effective for you and the future baby.
