Thank you both so much. I will keep you posted. I am actually pretty concerned about starting at 20 mg. I may start at 10 and titrate upward. I am a pretty small person and am very sensitive to meds and side effects, at least at first. I haven't filled my rx yet, but the pill is scored. I am being prescribed by a pdoc, not a general practitioner, and I really like my doc, but I still tend to think that docs can forget how hard it is to stomach these meds. I, too, take Klonopin, but it sedates me quite a bit with lithium and topomax and celexa. I think my doctor is hoping that the lexapro can fill in for the klonopin in some respects, since the anxiety ebbs and flows and is more related to my depression. I will keep my fingers crossed, but sometimes I feel hopeless that anything will work. I have been trying to find the right combination for years. It seems that when one aspect of the disorder is quieted, something else flares up. Thanks for your support.
