Yes, I have been on 20 mg for almost 3 weeks and am getting anxiety from Lex. I am hearing that it does go away. I have considered switching back to Zoloft, but am torn if I should try to stick this out a little more. Doc wants me to give it until next Tuesday and follow up with him. Until then, I am on Xanax, which I never had to take that often, but am now.
