can Lexapro cause anxiety after 12 weeks?

Posted by chess on May 26, 2005, at 22:19:19

I'm trying to figure out if my anxiety is coming from me biologically or if it's being caused by Lexapro

I've been on Lexapro for 12 weeks now (8 weeks on 20mg, 4 weeks on 30mg) for anxiety/panic/ocd

I still have anxiety and am wondering if Lexapro could be causing some of my anxiety now?

I know that SSRIs can cause anxiety in the first 2-3 weeks of use, but could Lexapro be causing some of my anxiety now after 12 weeks of being on it?

I need to figure this out because it's interfering with my CBT work, when you're trying to deal with anxiety and desensitize yourself you want to know that the medication your taking isn't causing anxiety.
