I'm not sure if this will help either of you but....
I started @5mg Lex, went to 10mg at week 4, when I started to have anxiety attacks and increased depression. I felt so terrible I just wanted to throw in the towel.
My Dr and people on this board convinced me to give it more time and I'm glad I did because after 9 weeks I could tell Lex was working for me.
I read many posts where people were saying they felt better after a few weeks and I had to tell myself that their metabolism was probably different and I should at least go the 8 weeks.
For me anyway, things got worse before they finally got better. It may be possible that another week or 2 would give you a better indication of whether Lex will work.
BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU!!!
