Hi Sue Lynn - I hope you hang in there, lexapro has helped many. I've taken it off & on for about 5 years. If you scroll wwwaaaayyy up on these messages, to 2004, you will see the reactions of many people just starting on lex and you may take comfort from their reports of s/e's (including anxiety) easing up in 1 - 2 weeks! I take it at night & that seems to work well for me. If you can't sleep, the benadryl will help & maybe you'll sleep thru some of the s/e's :-) Be good to yourself!

> so you can take benedryl with this drug? I was worried about taking anything even tyenol since i've never been on it:-0 also I cut it into this mornign and only took 5mg instead of 10mg. i thought i would try that and see how it is by monday. i really want to keep trying since i've already been taking it for a week. i hate to go through these s/e for nothing.
