Suggest Treatment For Mood Swing As Lexapro Didn T Work

Hi, I am on lexapro and have just increased to 20mg. Because of low mood now even lower no energy feeling crap. Can I take amino acids or anything to increase other neurotransmitters? Or to help my mood? Only had increased lexapro for about a week or less. Thanx. Morry.

Nice that you yourself express your concerns !. The changes in the neurotransmitters can be managed by the medicines you take. However, I would say that you are a "SURVIVOR" than a patient. Now it is time for you to have your outlook changed. The damages till today can be taken care of by the medical fraternity and it is up to you to either aggravate the morbidity further or change your outlook by changing your patterns of life. Making a change in your behavioural patterns will contribute towards your keeping yourself in high spirits.

The positive effect of medicines can be further supported by the behavioural changes. Check how you behave in a certain situation, and what are the other options in which your behaviour can be effective for you as well as for the society you live in.

Wishing you some more positive development in your personality !
