Hey, Andy, you've come to the right place to find good support. These Lexaproers are the best, and they will make you feel very welcome.
I am in my 8th week of Lex; at 10mg for 5wks, then increased to 15mg because symptoms were returning full force. The increase most definitely made a difference. I am planning to increase to 20mg once my s/e's diminish a little more. If it hadn't been for the encouragement I have received on this board, I would have given up by now.
You mentioned that your doc is on vacation; is there an on-call physician that you can get in to see earlier than May? (most doc's don't leave their patients stranded while they are gone.) Most everyone here is taking something along with the Lex for anxiety or other s/e's. I take 1mg Lorazepam for the insomnia. There should be an answer to help you cope, if your doc will understand.
We all go up and down and sometimes *upside down* on this journey through the unknown, but if we all hold hands, we can help pull each other upright again eventually.
Hang in there! Glad you're here:~)
((((good feelings))))
