Cody, don't give up yet!!
I went on Lexapro for anxiety too.
I started with 5mg and had horrible nausea and heart palpitations.
I also found 5mg did nothing to help the anxiety.
After 5 days at 5mg, I bumped the dose up to 10mg.
After just 5 or 6 days at the 10mg it helped the anxiety.
The nausea is gone now, and the heart palpitations
happen only occasionally. I think try and be fair
to the drug and give it two weeks for your body to adjust.The only continuing side effect I have is some insomnia.
I'm now taking the medication in the morning and it has
helped some.Good luck!!
