For me it took about 2months. I didn't notice increased anxiety but I did have depression,which I wasn't having. They told me just to stay on it a little longer. I did and now I am feeling better. Unfortunately it isn't something that tends to work wonders right away and your dose may need to be increased as well. For me I started out on 5mg and didn't have any effect with it,then I went to 10mg and notice better improvement. Keep staying on it. You might ask your doc. if he can give you a PRN order for xanax or something that can help with the additional anxiety until the lexapro is helping. Hang in there!!!! |
