> your going to get more anxiety and worse im sorry but its true but only for about 2 weeks or so. it will pump up your anxiety to help fight it like the flu shot does ,its rough in the begining but please stick with it ask your doc. for a little something to calm your during rough starting 3 weeks , it will work dont worry breath and think of everything but your anxiety lex will make you sleepy also its all normal keep busy excersize release the anxious energy, good luck

I do have a script for xanax and it is helping me. I am having trouble decicing wether I should take the Lexapro or not. The only other med. I have tried is Paxil and I hated it. So far on my second day of Lexapro I have no side effects other than not being able to sleep so I will start tomorrow taking it in the AM. Just as long as it DOES help for the anxiety I will have a peace about taking it. Thanks alot
