I have been on 10 mg of Lex for about a week and a half and have encountered very similar side effects to the ones you are describing. (Including a sinus infection. The doc tells me that it has nothing to do with Lex, not sure if I believe her.) I'm on it for depression and anxiety. Feelings of panic fluctuate and are the worst at night. I don't feel nautious as much as I did the first few days and my appetite is coming back a little bit. I have noticed that since taking the Lex I've had an easier time calming myself down when I feel a panic attack coming on, and that's huge for me. After reading so many encouraging posts on this board, I'm inclined to stick with the Lex for another 2 or 3 weeks to give it a fair chance. Hang in there!
