> I was on Lexapro at 30mg for 4 months, combined with Klonopin, 1mg 3x/day, and 1500 mg of DLPA and 10mg of Selegiline, before I ever noticed any remission from anxiety and depression.

> If you stick with 10mg of Lexapro, you'll, well... let's just say it's a starting dose.Oh my, if I took 30 mg of Lexapro I wouldn't be able to move my head at all. Or breathe or swallow (nasal congestion and dry mouth). My neck gets so stiff and tight at 10mg that I can't stand the pain. All the ssri's except Paxil do that.
How on earth did you manage a 4 months trial of no success without giving up on it? I read another post here some time ago from someone who said Lexapro took 4-5 months for it kick in for him. There's no way I could wait out 4-5 months of no results. How did you cope?
