I would suggest Klonopin (worked for Glydin) for maybe a month or so. A lot of people take Klonopin for the anxiety caused by SSRI's. After that, is sleep is the only problem, I take 1 mg of Lunesta which works very well.
> I had been on Celexa 10mg. Still some anxiety and dysthymia. Switched to Lexapro 5mg for two weeks. More depressed and more anxious. Lowered dose to 2.5mg for a week. Less anxious but more depressed. Upped dose to 7.5 mg for a week. Less depressed but much more anxious. Tried 10mg for one day. Anxiety skyrocketed. Altogether I've been on Lex for a month. I have less fatigue but I am sleeping badly and feel much more anxious than on the Celexa. Also, Lex side effects much more intense than Celexa. Have I given the Lexapro a fair trial?
