A/D not working

[libbie123]

i posted this in the anxiety forum but i wanted to do it again on this one. i have been on5 mg Lexapro for almost a year and i think it has made my depression worse than i have ever had it. i also suffer from anxiety. i am so unmotivated to do anything and if i am not anxious ( nervous, twitchy, jumpy) i feel nothing except down. my husband sees a difference in me. idk what to do. i see my therapist and the doctor at that clinic to do a med review. i know he will just want to up my dose but i don't want to do that. in my gut i feel it would not be the right thing. i think i did better managing when i was not on meds. idk. just need some feed back.

im just over it. im so frustrated about it all. isn't the purpose of the A/D is to keep me from being depressed? or down? the emptiness is horrible

I take Lexapro and have now for a while after undergoing severe anxiety. I was never on so low a dose. My Dr. started me at 10 and I maxed out at 20mg. I was also on Klonopin but only as needed. maybe ask him/her to increase your dosage?
