Hi Kim,
The first few weeks that I started taking Lex I noticed an increase in my anxiety, but this has tapered off a bit after 20 days. My experience has been a little different from yours because the drugs effect everyone differently, and I'm taking a higher dose. I started at 10 mg rather than 5 mg.
If you look at some of the past posts a lot of people reported feeling a decline in their progress around week 4 or 5. It seems fairly common. I've also noticed that the avg. time to feel better is about 6 weeks. I hope this helps. Good luck on the 10 mg.
K.
