Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Depression While On Lexapro

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
A full and complete trial of an antidepressant is at least 6 weeks on the maximum dosage. You've been taking the maximum dosage of Lexapro now for over 8 weeks, so it would be appropriate at this time to cross-taper to a different antidepressant. I'd suggest sertraline (Zoloft), which treats anxiety and depression very well. You will feel better!
