I was on lexapro but they're all SSRI's. I would say to give these side effects a month to calm down. If after a month you still feel them and you are not comfortable with them, try another medication. Also I took mine at night.

I take my SSRI at breakfast time and half of my benzo before bed curb middle of the night anxiety.
