Does Lexapro make you feel MORE anxious the first couple of times you take it?

Question

My doctor is having me try different anxiety medicines, and the first is Lexapro. I took it for the first time today. I felt great for about an hour after it kicked in... I was happy, relaxed, and not high at all. But by the time I got to work, I started feeling the same feeling as when I'm overwhelmed... extremely. It's been like that all day. Will that go away? Or should I try a new medicine? I know you're supposed to give them a couple of days, but I don't like this feeling at all. It's like I'm more anxious than I was before. I want to snap at somebody or swing a bat. I was in a daze all day, thinking about the heavy chest and waves of anxiety.

Answer 1

I did not like lexapro
