Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hi There, Yes, Lexapro has indeed helped with my anxiety and heart palpitations. I have been on it for 2 months and take 20 mgs. I used to take it first thing in the morning, but it made me lazy, so now I take it at bedtime. No side effects, my anxiety is practically zero and I don't get the racing heart episodes anymore, thank God! Good Luck, Liz “We have loved the stars too fondly to fear the night.†Lexapro vs Cymbalta My doctor has had me on Cymbalta for the past year for Depression. I was advised to take it in the am. However, my Axiety and frustrations at work are getting worse. It could be " job burn out too " . I saw the Dr. about 1 1/2 weeks ago.I told him the anxiety is much worse during the day. He started me on 10mg of Lex.. ea day. I learned that Dep & Anx go together sometimes. So far I seem to get sleepy but I also cut down on the caffine intake. I really hope the Lex.. helps w/the anxiety--I have a really stressful job. Has Lexapro helped anyone with Anxiety?? ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 yes, lex has helped me with anxiety when I needed it. I didn't have to take it for long. For a long time I was on celexa for depression and Lorazapam for anx. I changed to Lex because I lost my job and insurance and my PCP only had the lex samples so I changed and have been fine for the most part ever since and that has been for over three years. ak --- cathysim1017 <catherin_skinner@...> wrote: > My doctor has had me on Cymbalta for the past year > for Depression.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 It started helping me after only a week or so, but can take more time depending on the person. Hang in there and don't get discouraged. My sister tried Lex and it didn't do much for her, but she found something that did. Give it some time and if it does not do it for you, try something else. jasmine jabari <jazminej22@...> wrote: yes it helps a lot hang in there!! cathysim1017 <catherin_skinner@...> wrote: My doctor has had me on Cymbalta for the past year for Depression.
