binge episodes gradually returning
i've been on lexapro for close to 2 years and have had an amazing experience with it. I initially started taking it postpartum with my 2nd daughter after I ended up in the hospital with severe postpartum anxiety/postpartum psychosis.
within a week on 10mg, I felt so much better. gradually, it's also helped me get my life together and prioritize taking care of myself. I got back in the gym and lost 90 pounds (naturally, no glp-1 etc) and feel so much more level headed in all regards. im a better person, wife and mother because of it.
however, over the last couple of months, my binge eating episodes seem to be making a gradual return. I have a history of bulimia and binge eating. I struggled with bulimia for a couple of years in college but was luckily able to recover on my own. but, my relationship with food has always been up and down. aside from being terrified of gaining the weight back from binge eating, it literally makes me feel like shit the next day. the shame and also feeling like im literally hungover is enough to make me not want to continue binge eating, but then a few days later, there I am having another episode.
my question is; could it be time for me to increase my lexapro dosage?
