Since then, though, it's evolved into a chronic problem, (thanks to OCD) such that it's difficult to really determine whether I'm still experiencing it or just afraid of the thoughts it gave rise to.
I have noticed, though, that Lexapro does make me feel noticeably spacey and disconnected.
Do you think nortriptyline would be a worthwhile drug to trial in order to offset the emotional numbness and insomnia from Lexapro? As an NRI, does it have the potential to increase anxiety?
