Escitalopram (Lexapro) for Anxiety

I just started Escitalopram last week and am wondering when the side effects wear off. Currently I feel like I'm in a fog, have a low grade headache and am nauseous. Plus my sleep is not great. I'm still anxious. I know that it takes time for the anxiousness to get better, but wondering when the side effects go away.

I’m probably not the best person for you when it comes to these medications but I do know that it can take some people up to 4-6 weeks to level out and start feeling the good benefits from it. My youngest son went on this medication years ago and it helped him a lot with anxiety and depression, in fact he still takes them.
