Anxiety: Lexapro (escitalopram) 5 mg is low, not therapeutic level for you if anxiety persists. Discuss higher dose with prescribing doctor. Klonopin ok for occasional anxiety. Also try to address coping strategies with doctor or a mental health professional. See: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anxiety/basics/coping-support/CON-20026282

Med interactions: These medications can be used together. When did your provider want you to ^ your lexapro (escitalopram) dose?
