I started taking lexapro 2 months ago and have felt pretty good. It's only been this last week I have had a lot of anxiety that has stayed with me. My therapist thinks I should up my dosage, but I'm scared. I also have a script for 0.5mg of Klonipin that I try really hard not to take. I've been taking the Klonipin(half dose) on and off since June 2015 I'm afraid to keep taking it but now I. Afraid I'm going through withdraw because my anxiety is back. I dint know if I need more lexapro or if it's benzo withdrawal.
