I was an absolute basket case for the first 7 days on Lex, with physical SE's as well. I've added Xanax to get me through until I either acclimate to the drug and/or decide to tell my doc to forget it. I'm trying to give it a chance and not to be a "difficult" patient (which I tend to become almost effortlessly). I tried to take 5mg, but my doc balked at that idea. It's your brain that's being fried (nod to JLM), however, so you'll have to determine your own threshold of what's bearable. FWIW, I didn't notice much change between 5mg and 10mg. On a positive note, I am feeling a bit more even keeled today. At least I'm able to sleep, which is one side effect I've been miraculously spared. Good luck and keep us posted!
