I have been prescribed Lexapro and Ativan for my mild depression. After taking the meds for 2 days, I still don't feel any different - I still feel worried, scared and troubled. Should i be expecting an immediate effect from the meds, or does it take a few dosages to help me think less?
My mood varies though. Somedays i feel okay (like today), at other days, not. On days when i feel okay, can I not take the med? I don't know if i can do this as I don't know if it will bring any bad effects to my body.

I'm recently on lexapro and was told by my doctor to give it a couple weeks, and by my pharmacist to give it atleast 3 weeks. You have to take it every day regardless of how you feel, or it won't work. It's been a couple months now for me and I love it.
Most antidepressants really need time to work--if you don't think you have the time, you might want to talk to your doctor about doing it in a supervised setting.
I take ativan too. For anxiety and it helps my sleep. Ativan can be taken more as needed.
