> Tony could the caffeine be causing the afternoon anxiety? Just a thought. So lexapro is good for anxiety? I take luvox it has no side effects for me but take valium too. Anyway good luck to both of you. Phillipa
Yes, the caffeine contributes to the anxiety! It's a two-edged sword for sure, I have to be careful to limit my coffee to one or two cups. But without it the depression/lethargy/hypersomnia tends to take over and I wind up sleeping &/or reading all day, missing appointments & other engagements, which has really negative consequences for my self-esteem and outlook (and others' view of my reliability!) So it's a balancing act.
Thanks,
Tony
