Did this worsen once you went on Lexapro? Everyone is different (a favorite saying here, but it's true), but even the smallest amount of Lexapro is too activating for me (and for many others). I've never had problems with other SSRIs, but I'm down to 2.5 mg Lexapro (yes, that's only l/4 of the 10mg tablet), and I'm still having problems. I get a bit hypomanic and/or irritable within hours after I take the Lex. The most I ever took was 10mg as a split dose (5mg twice a day), and I couldn't stand myself. I also have anxiety and OCD, as well as depression. Have you tried any of the other SSRIs? I do think most docs agree that you have to be on a higher dose (20mg or more) of Lexapro to help with OCD, but trust me, I am going nuts on this stuff. Did it get worse with each dosage increase? I am now keeping a daily journal (just short notes) of my meds, dosage, changes in moods, and times those changes take effect post-dosage.
