I have to say, I know how you feel as well. I am in the middle of anxiety/depression and trying to get back on the Lexapro that I had been on for years with success. Easier said than done. I too thought I might need a dosage increase when the 10 mg of Lexapro wasn't working after 23 days. So, my doctor increased it to 15 mg. My panic and jitteriness seemed to get worse after 17 days on the higher dosage! Needless to say, I am back down to 10 mg and the jitteriness has improved. My days are still weird though. I wake up each morning with panic and dread and the feeling that I will never get better and will only continue to get worse. Then, as the day progresses, I have little blips of hope and happiness. It is so weird to me how a body can experience such drastic changes in emotion during the course of just one day! Here's to hoping that everyone's medication will soon start helping them and we will all be in remission once again!!
