if you have been on lexapro 2 month at 10mg you should have been lifted to 20mg. anxierty is a starter side effect but that goes in time.10 mg is not strong enough for a breakthrough with you i dont see why they never upped to normal 20 dose then you could always lower if to much. IF you carnt stand the start up side effects dont take ad,s everyone get worse before better , there is a new drug going into your brain , you body dont just say come on in buddy they fight it. ie side effects.
