In reply to Lexapro Concerns « jeanine, posted by Dr. Bob on March 16, 2004, at 18:34:27
Jeanine, I have been taking Lexapro for about 5 wks and have just increased from 10mg to 15mg. I know that some of the people who post here have had increased anxiety with Lexapro, but most have been able to take something, like Xanax, to counteract it.
Lexapro happens to help my anxiety, but depression is my main concern. I do have insomnia side effects, but Lorazepam helps me with that. There will be a period of adjustment to any of this type of medication.
There are many posts on this board (Psycho Babble) regarding Lexapro side effects, if you know how to maneuver in here. If you have trouble finding anything, just post a message asking for help, and someone will take your hand.
Good luck, and please keep posting; there are a lot of warm, caring people here who know what you are going through. You don't have to go it alone, 'cuz we are here for you:) [BIG HUG] ...jlynne
