> I started taking Lexapro one week ago after being on Celexa for 3 weeks. The Celexa was horrible, I wasn't eating or sleeping, the Lexapro has been fabulous. My appetite has returned and I have no problems sleeping. The only real issue that I'm having with it is that it's not really working that great for my anxiety. I had an anxiety attack today at work after never having one while I was on Prozac for 6 years. I'm wondering if there's anything better for all of the anxiety disorders or if I should up my dosage of Lexapro.
** Dont up it yet...Prozac has a long 1/2 life, and when you switched to celexa, you still had prozac in you to for at least 1 wk...maybe more. It is out of you now, but remember Lexapro is effective at 1-2 weeks for most people...give it a little more time to work (treat the anxiety).
ps...are you taking 10mg? That is the starting dose.
