Lexapro users, how long before I feel effects of drug?!
Question:
Lexapro users, how long before I feel effects of drug?
I've been on Lexapro for anxiety for almost 2 weeks. I'm still not feeling any improvment in my anxiety. I've had several panic attacks and still just feeling nervous all day , everyday. I read that some people feel the effects of the drug after 1 week, but it can take up to 6 weeks to feel the full effects. My question is for those who have used this for anxiety, how long did it take you to feel the effects of this drug? I'm just praying that I can live a normal life w/o anxiety and I'm waiting for this to kick in and help me out. Any advice would be great.

I started on 10 mg and felt nothing. After about 4 weeks, I was bumped up to 20 mg. 2 weeks later I felt it working. So, it took me about 6 weeks.
