In reply to Report on Lexapro - Anxiety level worsened, posted by MarkD on March 4, 2004, at 14:41:12
Hi Mark,
One thing that helped me was the fact that lex seems to be on a schedule. For example, you know that the worst side effects will hit six hours after taking it. I found it comforting to know that all those symptoms were simply caused by the lexapro, rather than a serious health problem.
Like I said before...Lex can actually cause anxiety the first few weeks you take it. Xanax or Lorazepam can do wonders for that. But keep in mind you're not alone in adjusting to Lex. It can be difficult, but it's possible. Just hang in there for a few weeks...you'll be glad you did.
