Hi,

I have GAD and it's pretty bad at the moment and have had it a few times before in my past. This time, I'm staying on the Lexapro!

I started taking 5mg for 10 days, then 10mg for 10 days and now just started 15mg - and this is where I will stay. My question is, that although I know it takes 4-6 weeks to get full effects, how long have I been on it? Do I count my weeks from when I started the 5mg or when I started the 15mg?
If it's from the 5mg then I've been on it for almost 3 weeks and I can't say I'm reaping ANY benefits yet and infact feel more anxious than when I started, which again I know can happen but I'm so desperate for a little relief. Anxiety is exhausting and debilitating.

I'll try and keep this thread updated too to help others and myself as time goes on...

Thanks all,
Lisa
