Obviously I can't give medical advice, but I think it's safe to say if your medication is making you feel worse, you need to fix that.

Thanks, Margaux! I just get paranoid about switching up meds b/c it has worked so well on my anxiety, and I hate to go back to being an anxious mess, which is why I've put up with the blah-state for 2 years. :/ Glad to know there may be options besides just quitting Lexapro entirely! I'm not against trying another drug entirely, I just worry about the effectiveness since my biggest issue was anxiety, and I know not all ADs are as effective on anxiety as Lexapro.
I hope you start feeling better too! I haven't caught up on all the threads, how long have you been not drinking?
