I have been taking Lexapro for 9 weeks for GAD. After 2 weeks of mild improvement my pdoc increased my dosage from 10mg to 20mg for the past 7 weeks. I also take 1mg-1.5mg of clonazepam in the morning when my anxiety is at its worse. I sleep very well after taking 100mg of Trazadone before bedtime. When I take my 20mg of Lexapro in the morning it gives my anxiety a real jolt.
My anxiety was very bad without meds but I am frustrated that I do not feel happier and worry less. Does anyone think the Lexapro needs more time to kick in and should I be concerned about my daily dosage of clonazepam and Trazadone?
BTW, my side effects are limited to feeling a bit shaky sometimes and mild headaches.
