In reply to Lexapro has made my anxiety worse, posted by nicolet on March 25, 2004, at 8:50:00
Hi Nicolet,
Like Nicky said, it's not uncommon for Lex to increase your anxiety during the first few weeks that you take it. The good news is that it goes away. The even better news is that you don't have to suffer through the anxiety. Ask your psychiatrist about Xanax, Klonopin or Lorazepam. If you take one of those when you're feeling anxious, I can almost guarantee you'll be relaxed within 20-30 mins.
Good luck and hang in there because the results really are worth it.
K.
