Hi!
I used to take Paxil 40-60mg/day for OCD and anxiety. It made my very lazy and I ended up dropping out of college. I was on Celexa 60mg/day up until recently, Celexa also made me lazy.
I think that you should try reducing the dose down to 5mg/day. Hopefully, you'll still get the benefit but with less side effects. Alternatively, you could try Zoloft instead of Lexapro. It seems a little less likely to cause laziness than Lexapro. Some people do find Zoloft good for anxiety although it does seem to be a little more Prozac-like than the other SSRIs.
Regards,
Ed.
