I was wondering if anyone with recurring anxiety bouts have had it come back as a result of not taking their AD long enough. I am on my 3rd round of Lexapro, but I was wondering if my anxiety is back because its going to be lifelong, or because maybe I didnt take the AD long enough. I took Lex 2 tim...

Yaakov, To answer your question, I have taken Lexapro 2 x and both times it definitely caused extra anxiety when I started it and when I increased the dosage.

Hi, Both times I took Lex, I started at 2.5 fro 4 days since Im very sensitive to meds. But I realized that the 5mg is not going to be much different (as I have the extra anxiety when starting up anyway) so why not speed up the process.

I am on lex for about 3 months now. One month at 10mg, one month at 15mg and now a month at 20. Every time after I start to feel a little better, the anxiety comes back after a few weeks of the increase. Is this normal- or do I need to keep increasing it? I dont want to go much higher. I know you ge...
