d a short term course of of an anti-
anxiety med, like Xanax or Ativan, to help with the
side effects. That may make a world of difference for you.
Definitely don't just stop taking the Lexapro without first discussing all of this with your doctor. You both may decide that the side effects are just too much, or your starting dose may have been a little on the high side. A typical starting dose would be 10mg, for some people sensitive to meds, they can even start out at 5mg.
