> > > I've been on Lexapro about 2 1/2 weeks now. Started at 5mg for 10 days, then 7.5 for 10 days. I haven't gotten any relief from my anxiety yet. In fact, it seems to make me more anxious and I think I'm starting to get depressed over it. I'm thinking about going back to Remeron, although I don't like the s/e, it at least seems to help more with the anxiety. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

Also, the Lexapro seems to make me nervous on top of the anxiety.*** for most people...1-2 wks is all they need...and for others 4-6...why, i dont know, everyone responds differently...perhaps it might take a little longer for you but lexapro does help with anxiety too...hang in there and keep us posted
