I too got anxiety early on with Lexapro/Cipralex/escitalopram. I've been off it for 9 months, managing, well, struggling really, on herbals & OTC; I want to go back on it, so I appreciate the reminder to tough the anxiety through. Lamotrigine was much worse, though: serious anxiety when I titrated my dose up to 100 mg had to go on benzos, and I still have post-acute withdrawal anxiety from the latter.
Overall, for me, Lexapro has the best S-E profile of any A-D I have taken, with the possible exception of Cymbalta (unfortunately not covered by my plan).
