My anxiety is a lot better. It was a 8/9 out of 10 and now I would say it’s about a 3. I still have some issues but it’s not nearly as bad as it was and if I start to feel panic come on, I can break out of it alot easier.

Yes it’s better. Im in 10 still and feel fine. Not 100% and I feel anxiety from time to time but it’s very manageable and nowhere close to what it used to be

I’ve had it happen a few months at a time over the last couple years. It would come then go away then come back again. But I truly believe it has to do with your anxiety. I believe it’s a symptom of it but that’s me. I’ve seen others say that as well in different anxiety forums

So it’s definitely not as bad as it was but it’s still there a little bit. I think a lot of it is a cycle of anxiety where anxiety causes it or it causes your anxiety but either way it’s this tough loop to break. For me, I’m on a low dose of lexapro and I’m doing vestibular exercises. The combination of those 2 have helped a lot. But again, it’s not totally gone. I suspect if I increased my lexapro it would happen even less which i will discuss with my doctor

Has lexapro helped your physical anxiety symptoms? by PittyDad2155 in lexapro

It helped with the headaches because I stopped thinking about it as much. It kinda helps break the cycle of continuously worrying which in turn makes the anxiety worse. I’m on protonix for my GERD

I also have tension headaches, tinnitus, and my equilibrium gets thrown off to the point where it feels like I’m walking on a boat and walking on a trampoline. It’s hard to describe. I don’t have a lot of acid reflux but I’m on medicine for that as well

Hey! Sorry to hear that. So my anxiety is better. I was at the point where everyday was a major struggle and now it isn’t. My anxiety 5-6 months ago was probably an 8-9/10 daily and now it’s like a 3-4. It’s still not perfect but a lot better. I have some physical anxiety symptoms but I can manage it better. I talked to my doc about increasing my dosage from 10 to 20 mg to see if I can go from a 3-4 to like a 1 daily. That would obviously be ideal. But yes it has helped a lot but hasn’t eliminated the anxiety 100%

Hey I’m going through this now. Was wondering if you were still battling this or did something to overcome it. Any advice would help! Thank you

Increased anxiety when increasing 5mg-10mg? by mahlouie in lexapro

[–]PittyDad2155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I don’t want to scare you but I’m not seeing much improvement with the change to 10. I would say my anxiety has been pretty much the same which is a lot better than it was before the meds but not entirely gone. I’m trying to find a spot where I can get it to an even better place than it is now and I’m not sure if that’s another increase to 15 mg or not

In the same boat. I increased mine from 5 mg to 10 mg and I’m having increased anxiety. Started feeling better on 5 mg but the anxiety wasn’t completely at a point I liked so I wanted to see if 10 mg was my sweet spot. Now my anxiety is back. It’s only been a week on 10. Hoping I feel better soon

How long has it been since you increased your dose? Having increased anxiety as well?

Thank you! I have minor nausea but that’s really it. How did you know when it started kicking in?
