I am so sorry for how you feel.

I have been on Lexapro for more than two years now. It was started at 10mg. It is higher now.
How much have you been asked to take?
It has been good for me without any side-effects as far as I can tell.
Lamictal is also a part of my prescription - 200mg A.M. and 250mg P.M..
It took us a while to work out the optimal dose.

I seem to be OK on this combination and dosage. My pdoc has tried several times to reduce both unsuccessfully, so I continue.

I hope it works out soon for you. Once to settles you shouldn't have any problem continuing with your work.

Do keep in touch.
