Prefect:
Could it be a combination of placebo effect (thinking the anxiety was gone as long as you took your 50mg of Lexapro) and some mild accompanying withdrawals? I too struggle greatly with agoraphobic-type anxiety. I have tried all of the SSRIs and completely baffled by the way I sometimes seem to get withdrawals when coming off of them, sometimes nothing at all. For me, it seems like my anxiety can "hide" in my body. In others, I can put it someplace mentally, think it's not there (but it really is; never goes away), and then it seems to come raging back when I least expect it. Not saying this is the same thing you are experiencing, but it's very common for me.
