Hi all,
I am new on this forum. I am 45 yrs old female who recently has had anxiety problems, due perhaps to menopause or health anxiety issues. My doctor put me on Lexapro 10 mg, and I started taking it 25 days ago. Aling with lexapro she also prescribed klonopin .50mg to take when needed until lexapro kicks in. I have tried to limit the klonopin as much as possible, skipping few days or taking half of the pill, however day /5 on Lexapro, I still have anxiety and don't seem to improve much! I have lack of appetite that bothers me a lot, fearing that my appetite will never be same as it was.
I need your help! Is it common to have the anxiety linger for this long on Lexapro? Should I be concerned? I would really appreciate it if anyone can shed some light onmy situation.
Thank you so much,
Liverette
