    Hi Don, 

    I ve been on escitalopram since 3 months on 20mg and yes I can aggree that I could not feel as much peacefull mind as I wanted, on the contrary, I was more motivated but also more stressed, so I reduced the dose to 10mg and the night I take 15mg of remeron to sleep better and the other day gives me also calmness. So I intent to the near future to give up escitalopram and leave only the remeron. In the past  I have used citalopram with no success. I believe that antidipressants does help to the depression but are not very good in anxiety...for me...so from time to time I take a bit of benzo to calm. Wishing you good luck!
