> I have been on lexapro since aug. at 10mg.A month ago my dr. put me on 20mg.I saw him a couple of days ago and i told him i was still depressed and i am tired all the time.he switched me to prozac 20mg.He told me to take 10mg of lexapro for six days with the prozac.Then after that just the prozac.Its the third day and i feel spacey and having alot of anxiety.What do i do?


Ideally, you should contact your doctor and let him evaluate what is best to do. I don't think it would hurt to stop taking the Lexapro entirely at this point. Anxiety is often a side effect that emerges early in treatment with certain SSRIs. I believe that Prozac and Lexapro are the worst. It usually subsides though.
