Re: what antidepressant are you taking for axniety?

Hi,

I started taking 10 mg lexapro about a month ago. It treats anxiety and depression. I noticed a difference within a few days. Now it's even better. The only side effect I had was feeling sleepy too much of the day. That seems to be decreasing the longer I'm on it.

For years I was on amiltriptyline (elavil) for depression. It's a very old one, but a good one. I'm still taking it, also. It's a tricyclic. I'm glad I found someone else who has recently started lexapro.

Please update and let us know how you're doing. Then I can compare my progress with yours. Thank You and Good Luck.......Connie

Connie...is your doctor going to eventually have you discontinue the Elavil, or will you continue to take both AD's together? Did the Elavil stop working for you?
