Hi,

I'm not on Lex anymore. It didn't really help my anxiety and I had terrible "brain fry". I couldn't concentrate or put a thought together. My memory was gone too. I am very sensitive to meds though so don't take my side effects too seriously. I also had terrible insomnia the first 10 days or so and increased panic symptoms (which I didn't have on other SSRI's). You should try to get some Klonopin, Ativan, etc. I took a Klonopin every night with my Lex for the first 10 nights and I got a great night sleep. After 10 days I fell asleep on my own with no Klonopin and no problems.

Good luck and don't hesitate to post if you have any other questions.

Capri
