i was put on lexapro since i was only 14. but they recently increased it from 10 mg to 20 mg. i dont notice a difference when i am on it because i am still really screwed up but i definitely know when i forget to take it a few days.

I've been on a bunch of anti-depressants. Most of them either didn't work, worked only briefly or worked, but had too many side effects. But I persisted in trying what was available. Now I'm on one that works *very* well with only mild side effects, and I"m so glad I stuck with trying several until we found one that works well.
Just know, most anti-depressants have some side effects, but most of those side effects go away after a couple months, so give it time.
I also go to (talk) therapy. I think it's important to have therapy in addition to medication.

I hope you stick with it and do well.

PM me if you'd like to talk.
