I don't know if I'm being impatient but every night I go to bed I hope and try to positive think that the morning anxiety will go and I seem to be feeling worse! I know it's because I'm worried about it but when can I expect to slightly feel better? I've now been on an increase from 5 to 10 of escitalopram 7 days (I miscalculated it in an earlier post). Is it going to gradually go and why do I feel it's getting worse? I'd be thankful for any advice please.

      Hi Wilb, I just googled it and it's very similar! It says lorazepam is short acting and Klonopin are longer acting but are both calming! They are both addictive but I'm only using them whilst waiting for my escitalopram to kick in and also for my holiday!

      They do take the anxiety away but I'm very drowsy but sooner live with that than the jittery shakes etc! Hope this helps

      Doctor refused to put me on lorazepam or anything like that! He says to additive! He just wants me to stick the Lexapro and give it a chance to work! See him in three weeks! Hope I start feeling better soon! Was disappointed when he would not prescribe a med to help!

      I think my doctor only gave me them as I'm going on holiday abroad soon and it's just to get me through it as I'm still waiting for my escitalopram to kick in properly. Hopefully by the time I'm back I'm on the 6 week mark so by then I'm hoping I will be ok.

      Hope you get on ok.
