In reply to Does anyone still have anxiety after taking lexapr, posted by lexman on April 15, 2004, at 15:19:40
I've never taken Lexapro but I have tried most other SSRIs. I still suffered from anxiety while on the SSRIs - the only one that marginally helped was Seroxat (but it was an absolute NIGHTMARE to try and come off!!).
I recommend trying a low dose anti-psychotic, along with your Lexapro, for anxiety. I tried Stelazine 2mg along with 30mg Seroxat and initially had good results and felt great.
I'm now on Prozac and my P/Doctor is adding a low dose of Sodium Valproate for my anxiety, next week. I'll post to let everyone now how I get on with it.
