I was on Lexapro about a year ago and I was hesitant to start at 10mgs. so I split the tablet and took 5 mgs. for several days. At that time, I was switching over from Prozac. I liked the initial sedative effects I got from the Lexapro. For me it was more calming than Prozac. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue it after 6 months because I had trouble with feeling drowsy all the time. However, it may work very well for you. Everyone is different but I found it to be more calming that some of the other SSRI's and I liked it in the beginning.
> I barely got a prescription for lexapro this evening for Anxiety Attacks (panic disorder) and will start taking it tomorrow morning at 10mg. I am sensitive with meds and notice that in all the threads that there is different side effects. Is 10mg alot? I start work this Monday (2 days from now) and was off for 2 weeks. I dont want to go back to work and start having these panic attacks again. How fast does lexapro work for anxiety?
