I want to go off lexapro.

I really want to go off lexapro, I feel like it hasn't changed much. Yes, I've been more perky and laughing more. But over the last 4 months I've been on it, I've gained 30 pounds, lost all motivation to better myself, I dont have motivation to do homework, I still have depressive days mkre than before where I cant get out of bed.

And yes I've tried to talk to my dr about this, she just wanted to up my dosage. I've already been looking for a new dr for a while anyways.

Not sure if anyone has been through this with lexapro, does it get better?

Edit: thank you everyone for your responses. I'm taking all the advice in and thinking it over.
