Hey,
This is my first time to the site and I saw this message. I am taking 20 mg lex/day for anxiety - at first it was working well but it seems to be wearing off. At first 10 mg was working, then the anxiety came back and I went to 20, which worked for a while. My night time teeth clenching is back, and I am tense during the day. I'm almost afraid to tell my therapist because I don't want to go through the side effects of switching to another med. I get a sharp increase in anxiety during PMS every month, then it wanes. Anyway, I work out 3-4 times/week and that tends to help, especially immediately afterwards (1 hour high impact aerobics, or swim a mile, or 1.5 hours yoga, or 25 mile bike ride). I do occasionally drink (~3 drinks/week) and know that I'm not supposed to. I take the lex in the AM.
Has anyone else have this experience of waning effects?
