GOOD EVENING,

I want to GIVE hope for those starting out on LEXAPRO, I was on CELEXA for 6 months and switched to LEX.

My dr started me on 10 mg. for 4 weeks, then to 20 mg. I had mininium side effects except for increased anxiety for 7 1/2 weeks, morning anxiety was absolutely horrible, however, by evening the anxiety lifted.

8 weeks in my anxiety has started to lift, I FEEL more calm, I'm not constantly goggling and looking for a cure, please give the LEXAPRO TIME TO WORK, I thought I would never feel my normal self again, I'm happy to say I'm getting much relief from anxiety and it feels so wonderful! Don't give up!
