> I asked my doc if 30mg was needed for some people with anxiety and he said that he never had a patient on that dose - but at 7 weeks i feel like the 20mg dose just wears off after about 8hrs -sometimes in a matter of minutes. If I take it in the morning then my GAD comes back in the eve - not good for sleep. I am sure Paxil used to work better than this but then my anxiety has been bad this time. Does anybody else think that Paxil is superior? I don't want to give up on it too early but you've got to wonder.
I know how you feel rusty, I felt the same way that you do in regards to the lexapro seeming to feel like it wears off after about like 8 hours. So bad in fact, that I decided to go back onto the paxil. For some reason, I feel more "together" and equipped to handle everything on it. Mind you that by the time I hit 30 mg of lexapro, the anxiety caused me to slip into a deep depression that the lexapro didnt seem to help. It made me feel like I wasnt anxious at all I was just very deeply depressed. Good luck to ya.
