This will slow the process down a bit, but it should make the
side-
effects more tolerable. I started with
10mg, and I had headache, stomach ache, insomnia, and a worsening of my anxiety (I kept pacing back and forth) for about a week or so. They weren't as bad as the side-effects I had from Prozac, and then they went away completely by week 2. I think Lexapro is definitely worth a try. If you can't tolerate the side-effects, try very slowly upping the dose (as described above).
