I am also in week 6, 10mg Lex. Taking it for depression and PMDD. Have never had trouble w/anxiety before, but since I have started taking Lex I have had anxiety attacks. Not daily and not debilitating, but I have them. Is it possible Lex contributes to anxiety?

The anxiety may never leave. I have been on lexapro/celexa for 1.5 years and I have to take clonazepam or I can't sleep and I will get panic attacks. If it wasn't for my OCD I wouldn't take any SSRI. If you have depression and anxiety, try other medications, maybe remeron.

Good luck,
Eric

I started Lexapro about 2 weeks ago for 2 severe anxiety disorders...it seems to be working now but in the beginning it made my anxiety much worse and made me very depressed like i have never been...i experienced the insomnia and small twitches as well...like i said it seems to be working more now i just hope it stays like that...with my panic attacks they lasted for hours and came with flash backs and strange thoughts, so if it worked for me it could work for anyone...good luck and God bless

I have had more anxiety on Lex than when I have been on any other medicine. It is as if I am not taking anything for the anxiety. In addition, now I can't sleep well.
