What Causes Anger And Anxiety While On Lexapro?
Currently taking Lexapro 10 mg - the crying bursts have stopped and most of the anxiety. Still get agitated more so in the evenings and have a lack of concentration/motivation. Is there a medication that will work with the Lexapro to help with the agitation and concentration?

Hello,
Lexapro is a very good antidepressant used to treat anxiety in adults/major depressive disorder. I will suggest you see your psychiatrist to also evaluate your for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Drugs like Adderall may help with concentration but I will advise you see your doctor for a fresh evaluation and to judge the need for such a drug. Regular follow-up will also be needed with dose adjustment of drugs if need be.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
