I can't give you advice on your medication because that's up to the doctor and you but I can tell you the symptom of anxiety is chills..changes in temperature from hot to cold rapidly and difficulty warming up and so just knowing that that's part of the symptoms of anxiety helped me to remain calm when this happens and that it will go away when you warm up and calm down knowing that it's only temporary.

Is there any way that you can call your doc, and ask him/her if you should try a med increase or stay the course in the mean time? (until your next appt)

[Anmu in reply to AnxiousSilver]

I try he’s only one time in the month and I just stared the med a week ago

Hi Anmu, December 27th isn't that far away. Do not increase medication on your own.

5 mg of Lexapro is an extremely small dose. Work closely with your doctor letting them

decide on what's best for you. This will allow your brain/body to adjust to the increased

dosage should he decide on that. xx

Do not increase dose without talking to your doctor. You can always talk to their nurse, if the doc isn't available. These medicines can have horrible side effects if you increase too quickly or decrease too quickly.
