    Hi Teena,

    Basically I had no depression but Lexapro 15mg gave me good and constant energy to do things all the time. Within 4 months I saw a bit of difference, exposing myself into small fears , but not a big deal, as for example with benzos that I feel very calm...but of course benzos are not proper as drags. Everyone is different so I wish you good luck!

      same thing happened to me, was on 10mg for 6 weeks, then both anxiety and depression came back quite a bit (not as bad as before starting) - my doc just suggested that I move to 15mg. yesterday was the first day trying that, so we will see what happens!
