Thanks, Slinky,I still feel more anxious and also a bit more depressed. I guess the Celexa is wearing off but the Lexapro hasn't kicked in yet (except for the anxiety part). I guess I'll give it at least three weeks before I give up.
Were you on Celexa before? Or what did you switch from to Lexapro and why?
