> > I've been taking Lexapro for a few weeks and trying to be patient by giving it more time. I was thinking about trying Effexor XR because it claims to help with a little "motivatation" which I seem to be lacking from Lexapro. Right now with Lexapro 10mg I'm feeling a little spacey and not wanting to do much of anything. Any input???

Can I ask why you both switched from Lexapro to another drug? I was on Lex, 10 mg for two weeks, anxiety kicked in, upped it to 20 mg for almost 3 weeks and the panic/anxiety didn't subside. I switched back to Zoloft and am beginning to feel better. I was on Zoloft before and did pretty good and heard about Lex, so I switched. Wish I didn't. It was not for me. Good luck!
