> I am so discouraged that I think maybe I should just get off the meds. Maybe the anxiety is med. induced. I know that it is dangerous to just get off meds. The lexapro was working for anxiety. I had some depression with it. I got off of it for a week (took zoloft instead). The anxiety was horrible. I got back on lexapro 5 days ago. How much longer will it take to kick in. I cant get in touch with a pdoc. I call and they say that someone will call back. (my pdoc is out) They say someone will call, but they dont call. My OBGYN doubled my lexapro (from 10mg to 20mg.)I am no expert but Klonopin is a benzo. I would probably recommend Xanax or the above to help immediately. Lexapro is a hybrid from Celexa, they say it is more pure. I have taken Lexapro also, it probably took 2 weeks to really have effect. As a lot of people say, you have to give it time but everyone is definitely different. There has to be a reason to your anxiety; a therapist would be good if you have insurance or can afford one. Good luck - Do not give up. It unfortunately has to get worse before you realize it to become better. Just give it time.
