I was on Lexapro for gad/depression. It worked fabulously on my symptoms for depression ... BUT it made my anxiety tons worse. I also had night terrors. I never got n* with it, just make sure you EAT before taking it. I'm now on Prozac 40 mg 1 x day and it's working wonders. My anxiety is a bit better. Talk to your doctor .. there are tons of medications you can try. *hugs*
