Hi Mescalito-
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Lex. I've been taking it now for two weeks (10mg) for anxiety. I have to say my anxiety has improved considerably, but I can relate to some of your side effects.
I think the first couple of weeks have to be the worst adjusting to the med. I've also experienced tiredness, insomnia, and a depressed mood. And like you, I really thought it may be best to quit. But, I urge you to hang in there. It could be it's just not for you, or you need some more time to adjust.
I'm starting to feel better now on Lex after 2 weeks- I still feel some tiredness, etc, but it's manageable. I had to ask myself what's worse: the side effects or the reason why I'm on it??
Hope this helps- Good Luck!!
Arrianna
