I asked my p-doc for something for anxiety, and he gave me Xanax, which took away the physical symptoms of anxiety, but not the worry. Then I asked him if I could go back on the Lexapro thinking it would help with the general anxiety, I just left a phone mess. and he said okay, didn't talk to him yet about what's going on. I took it awhile ago but didn't give it a chance because I was having other problems. Now, I've been on the Lexapro 4 days, and already my head is fuzzy and feels weird, I'm tired, I feel more anxious physically, when I'm driving I feel panicky, I have to "think" about what I"m doing - stuff that should be 2nd nature, my reactions are way slower, and sometimes I can't remember where I"ve gone or where I'm going. Weird. Should I just get off the stuff, or give it more of a chance. I"m not depressed, just have a lot of anxiety. I also take Adderall XR, Xanax, and Ambien. Suggestions about the Lexapro? My initial thought is to get off of it!Jazzy
