Is Lexapro Sufficient In The Treatment Of Anxiety And Depression?
I m currently being treated for anxiety and depression and have been prescribed Lexapro 10mg (60-days) & .5mg of Ativan (15 days). My doc was very reluctant to refill the Ativan and I was taken off it for a week and really saw my anxiety spike up again. He refilled the rx for another 15 days today. My hope is that the Lexapro will kick in now that i m going into week 3 and that it will help with my anxiety thereby reducing my need for the Ativan. Is that the case?.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the psychiatric disease and you have been given medicine for this then you are not suppose to adjust the dose or medicine and if it is being done by psychiatrist then no doubt should be there hope this information helps.
