On 5 mg lexapro (escitalopram) for 4 weeks and having increased anxiety,derealization and fatigue. would increasing to 10mg maybe improve symptoms or make them worse?

Ask your prescriber?: What symptom were you treating? Is it better? These new symptoms sound worse! There are many drugs that might help you- why not discuss your experience with your prescriber and try something else? I hope you feel better soon!
