Hello,
I have posted a few times here, but I'm still newbie in the anxiety stuff. I got my medication yesterday and they include:
- Escitalopram 10mg first week and then 20mg in the evening,
- propranolol half a tablet in the morning and evening
- Xanax 0.5 mg in the evening until Escitalopram takes effect
- Magnezium + B6 in the morning and evening.

Now the questions:
- How long does it usually take for Escitalopram to take effect?
- I've read the propranolol is considered kind of outdated and there are better alternatives. Is this true?
- I though that Xanax has effect for only a limited time 3-4 hours. If I take only 0.5 mg in the evening it will not have any effect during the day, right?

Thanx
