Breakthrough anxiety

[Sweetsoul36]

So I increased my meds about 2 and a half weeks ago. Almost 3 weeks now. How long does it take for new dose to work? Im having a little breakthrough anxiety. I say little because it is short lived and Im able to get through it with a little more ease since Im on medicine. Im just worried dose isnt enough and if Im just bein impatient.

Hi Sweetoul36, Looking back over your posts, I noticed that 21 days ago you got off Lexapro but 9 days ago you increased Lexapro. Is that the drug you are talking about? If so, being off it for 12 days brought your levels down and so even in increasing the dosage if takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks to reach full efficacy levels. I've probably mentioned before that Lexapro is what I'm on and can't say enough about it. Give it time...x
