First time I took Lexapro I had a really bad anxiety reaction. Felt like I was crawling out of my skin. The side effects eventually subsided and it worked great.

I just start this for my second time. First week I was on 10mg to start. Got a little spacey, tired, had some anxiety tingles (nothing ubearable) and that was about it. I bumped up to 20mg on Monday and had a lot of excess energy Tuesday, followed by some spacieness the past couple days, again nothing major, I have been sweating a lot.

Anyways, my question is has anyone taken a med a 2nd or 3rd time and had milder startup effects than the first time they took the med? Just curious as I'm hoping this works again as it was fantastic the first time I took it. I'm taking it this time for a different reason than the last time, last time I was having a lot of health anxiety and depress this time I'm having a lot of anxiety showing as anger and some obsessive thoughts.

Yeah that happened to me too , I think this happens because the 2nd or 3rd time our brain tolerates better the medication.
