    I'd give it 8 weeks to start feeling effects! I'm on 20mg and it is worth sticking it out! I was on Prozac for 6 months before Ellexapro and it didn't work for me either! But now lexapro has helped me get back to work and drive again after 10 months off! Although I'm only 70% better after 3 months on it I'd say it helped me a lot

      I was always tired and light headed bumping into things. Very bad anxiety that crippled me. I'm on medication for server anxiety disorder I stopped driving and going anywhere! Now I drive and go to work and take my little ones to school! I still have my bad days but feeling better then I was! The medication makes it manageable but u need to do the rest! Like mindfulness! Putting yourself in uncomfortable positions and getting use to it!
