hey, sky,
its kind of sounds like you have a pretty realistic expectation of your Lexapro.
I am also on lexapro and i know that it will not 'fix' everything nor do I ever expect it to.
I live with chronic pain and use a prescription medicated patch I apply to my skin every three days.
To someone who was not in chronic pain, the dose my MD has Rx would either 'send them to the moon" in bliss or it would kill them.
For me, it 'just takes the edge off' the pain so I can have a more normal life.
And for me that is more than enough.You are showing great insight into your own illness and managment of your meds.
My grandmother taught me that insight was
truly knowing, understanding, and accepting whatever limitations that exist in your life
and learning to be happy with your life.Keep in touch and know you can choose to
control this part of your life...
and it looks like you have a good start!syringachalet
