hi there, i am on 10 mg of lexapro for about 2 weeks. i was on 5 for a few weeks before then.
i feel agitated, slightly. i also feel like i might blurt things out to people and even though i dont do it, it feels like i might. usually not nice things.
i did effexor once and i think i had a similar experience and stopped it. i called my doc. left a message. wondering if this is normal, will go away, if others had the same experience, etc.

I'm switching over to lexapro as well. I've been on 10mg for 4 days now and it seems much less activating than zoloft.
Anyway, when I started on zoloft years ago I was agitated to no end. It took about a month before things calmed down... I was taking clonazepam as well so that helped somewhat. You should try to stay with it for a couple more weeks at least... you may be a day away from reaching therapeutic relief and a lessening of the agitation.
If things don't improve... or the agitation becomes severe, talk with your doctor.Regards, Rick

Ricker really? Got to do something this luvox isn't helping even though low dose. I'm terrified seriously. Love Phillipa

Lexapro is well-known to produce anxiety that appears at about day 14 and disappears by day 21. You are right on schedule.
Hang in there.
