> I'm glad to hear you're feeling less depressed. I started 5mg on Monday and I am totally depressed, but that started on Sunday. I would also be interested to know when I should start to feel better. Don't know if it's the lexapro but I am definitely feeling more anxious. It never really stops. Took some xanax but it doesn't really help so I just have to take more. I used to take half of a .25mg xanax and be fine, now no amount seems to help. I'm getting quite despondent. If anyone has anything positive to say about lexapro or anything, It would definitely be appreciated. Thanks,

I hoped that the lexapro would eliminate the sleeping pills. I take the dosage at 5pm and I don't get sleepy. I still have to take my sleeping pill. Does lexapro increase insomnia? On a brighter note, I was more depressed the first couple of days but now I feel much less depressed.

I know what you mean about the anxiety. This is my third day. First two were fine (think I still had some Remeron in my system). Had a really hard time sleeping last night. This morning I woke up really wired. Been taking ativan all day. It seems to help some, but I can really tell when it's wearing off. Is Lexapro supposed to help anxiety (my main problem)? I really don't want to be popping ativan all day. Has the Lex helped anyone with anxiety problems? Please let me know.
