Oh, I just reread your post and I see it has only been five days back on the Lex. That's probably not enough time to figure out whether or not it is working again. I know that if you were taking it for the first time, it could take several weeks or even a month or more to work. So, can you try to hold out to give it more time?
Also, if you can't smoke, what about the nic patch, just so that you aren't going through the nic withdrawal at the same time as starting up a med that could cause initial anxiety? That just seems like a lot for your system to handle at once. Then later, when you are feeling better, you can try quitting the nicotine.
