lexapro and xanax...not working?

Posted by JenStar on May 16, 2005, at 0:35:39

hi all,
I started taking Lexapro a few wks ago (10 mg) for extreme anxiety. My doc prescribed me a 20-pill batch of Xanax in addition, to help me until the Lex kicked in. The problem is that the Lex is not kicking in, or if it is, it's doing a very feeble kind of kick. I still feel the anxiety every day. I've been saving the Xanax and doling it out to myself, 1/2 a piece here and there when the anxiety is esp. bad, but I'm starting to worry that the Lex isn't going to do it for me.

does anyone have advice? Should I talk to my doc and ask for more Xanax? Should I wait longer for it to kick in? About a year ago I was on Lex for anxiety and it did start working quickly. This time, nothing so far. Why would my body not repsond this time?

Would my doctor think I'm a "druggie" if I want more Xanax?

thanks,
JenStar
