> How well does 40mg Lexapro work for your GAD?So-so. My situation is a little complicated by my fairly significant depression. I had a partial response to the Lex for both conditions.
> How long did it take for 40mg Lexapro to work for your GAD?
Hmm..it has been a while since I started it, so I couldn't say for sure. I think it started fairly quickly, but that has been my experience with most other meds that I have been on.

Physically, I tend to feel tense w/ headaches and muscle aches. The Lex worked pretty well on these symptoms. I also experience a lot of worrying. The lex helped some, but not completely w/ this.Sounds like Lex might be a good try for you. Good luck!
