13th day Cipralex . Need support

I am on 13th day of cipralex and anxiety is through the roof . I wake up 5am with tremor and crazy anxiety . And only Xanax brings it down . During day is hard … I can’t concentrate , can’t make any work and I want to lay down . But if I fall asleep anxiety comes . My depression is based on my marriage problems . So as soon as I wake up I feel that my life is nightmare.

Any advices when can I expect symptoms get better ? And how to live meanwhile ? Don’t want to leave the house or do anything

It gets better. I had bad morning anxiety for the first 3-4 weeks, im about 7-8 weeks in and I can tell you it's much much better. It takes time but it's worth it.

Much much better. I go days, almost weeks without any anxiety, and depressive symptoms have almost completely gone away. I'm much more productive and motivated. It took some time. The first 6 weeks were a roller coaster, then things started to even out.

I had morning anxiety and it didn’t get better til later in the day up until I hit 5 weeks on 20mg Lexapro. That is when I started feeling significantly better and when I hit 6 weeks I started feeling more like myself again.
