If you have taken xanax daily (three times a day) for more than two weeks, you are addicted. That's OKAY! It is a necessary reality for some psychiatric treatments but xanax is very short acting in the body and some of your mood swings are due to the ups and downs of this med. From my experience, others in this class of drugs like ativan would be better. I take klonipin but that is heavy duty.
I wish I could give you info on Lexapro but I've never taken it. Part of the depressed mindset, though, is expecting the worst and fortune telling. All meds are different. I wish you well, River.
