I have never tried LEX but I was on Celexa for a long time--I have to say it took around 8 weeks for it to relieve my anxiety. I would raise the dose of Lex and give it AT LEAST another month but stick with the diazepam. Benzo's are great but they can cause some depression so if you can get good relief on an ssri, it is better in the long run. Just my opinion.
