Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

You can read my most recent journal entry for the full story, but basically I increased my lexapro from 5mg to 7.5mg after about 6 weeks because I had a relapse for 2 weeks, then I was feeling absolutely fantastic for another 6 weeks, and last week I had another relapse, but was able to get through it without increasing my medicine. However, I am feeling very strange..almost how I felt when I first started the Lexapro, and I have this constant nervous energy running through me where I feel I can't relax. I also may have a sinus infection which could be causing these ewird feelings too..but I just don't know what to do! Could it be the medicine, or does it need to be upped??

As far as I know when you up your meds it can have similar results to when you first start taking them. I would ask your doctor to be safe.

I had my dose increased from 10 to 20mg and I felt like I did the first time i started taking it for a couple of weeks. After the six weeks, during that one week where you felt weird again, did you happen to take your dose of medicine at a different time than usual? I know that affects me if Itake it a lot later.

i get this, drug helps, then settles, then racy/nervy bit..I know i need my meds upped then..it takes a while for the body to absorb & settle..you get the immediate help thing from them, coz it is a whole lot of help more than before..my body settles..then I dip, coz my body needs more..not ness a bad thing, just getting balance right..My meds been upped/changed 8 times now..nearly there!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
