Lexapro was the last AD my doc put me on before I threw in the towel and went back to benzo's. I didn't have any weird side effects to it, I just didn't feel that it worked at all for my anxiety. Maybe I didn't take it long enough, maybe it's all just in my head that nothing but a benzo is going to work for anxiety. Who knows?

Good luck with it, I hope it works for you. I have tons of samples from my doc just sitting here in my drawer, I'm such a darn packrat!!
