> Lexapro can cause panic and anxiety. I don't think you are having a bipolar reaction. You are only a few weeks into it. SSRIs like Lexapro may cause severe anxiety before your body adjusts and the medication has time to start working. It may end up that Lexapro is just too powerful for you or that you will do better on a lower dose.
Yes, anxiety can be a reaction to Lexapro. In my experience, it seems to be time-dependent. It appeared by day 14 and disappeared by day 21. I have heard of others experiencing this same pattern.
