Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

When did you start taking these medicines?

It may take a couple of days for effects of drugs to be obvious. But if you are not able to sleep and too anxious, I would recommend increasing the dose of Lexapro (alprazolam) a little bit. But this has to be done after discussing with you doctor.

For now, try to get involved with your spouse or family members, try watching a comedy film, or try meditation. Regular time outs, exercise, avoiding caffeine, alcohol and tobacco- all these will help in the long term.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
