>How long have you been on lex and what dosage? I have been on 10mgs for little over a month and am feeling only a little improvement. In fact anxiety has seen to increase sometimes, especially in the early morning. Some people have said that it can take up to 6 to 9 weeks.

In response to feeling "flat", I went to see my doctor this week and he said the main thing he is trying to avoid is giving me a dosage of Lex that will make me feel no emotion at all or "flat". (Just to remind you, I'm the new member of the "Lex club" and taking it for my anxiety and panic attacks). Anyway, he told me that too much "Lex" can often do it. Just something to keep observing I guess.

I've been having SO MANY headaches lately. I really like what I've heard about the Lex so far, so I don't want to stop taking it. Has anybody else had this problem and does it go away?
