> I am new to Lex and switched from Zoloft to Lex, 10 mg a day. Felt fine for a while, but then noticed wasn't doing as well. started to get anxiety BAD so I uped it to 20 mg two weeks ago. Talked to my doc yesterday and he told me to give it one more week and to take the xanax and see if I improved. I usually never have to take xanax. I still have the script from October last year that I haven't finished, but am using it now. From what I am reading, it sounds like it will take a while to get over this feeling. Can someone help reassure me of this? If not, will have to switch to something else.

Anxiety increase could be and SE of Lex...I NEVER suffered from anxiety until I started taking Lex. About weeks 4-5 it was the worst, but gradually went away. Have been on Lex 4 mos. with VERY good results.

Deffinitely give the meds a chance to work...it took 9 weeks for me. HANG IN THERE and good luck!
