I experienced some of what you describe, went nuts cleaning, even took a toothbrush and scrubbed edges & corners in bathrooms. Felt like I was on speed, husband commented on it too.
I started @5mg, went to 10mg week 5, then 20mg month 5. I thought it was a side effect of lex at the time, don't have it anymore, seem to be back to *normal*, and coping w/each day...no more cleaning sprees lately.
You might try cutting back to 7.5 if that seemed to work for you. I too felt increases anxiety w/increase in dose, but it did go away.
Best of luck!~~~8|8
