We weren't saying that nothing was going on, it's just not PAWS. I would say that you are having issues with the sub. It can be a bear.

You're depressed and anxiety ridden because as you get lower on your sub dosage, your body is craving more or it wants the opiate "high" feeling.  
Exercise will help you produce endorphins.  Do take a look at the amino acids posting but ask your dr if it's ok to take certain mood enhancing aminos on lexapro.  it might not be.
drink tons of water and eat lots of veggies and fruits too.
OR mabe you're just having an "off" day and tomorrow will be better.
BTW, PAWS is POST accute withdrawal syndrome.  You're not post withdrawal yet.

Just make sure that the aminos don't react with the Lexapro.

I also agree with gitpen - you arent going through PAWS yet - its the sub........in addition to lexapro you might want to try the Amino Acid Protocol .....keep your body strong with vitamins and supplements.......the amino's will help with depression and energy

no you're not suffering from Paws.
You dont know what sub is. Its 50 times stronger than morphine with "blockers" in it so you dont get hight.
withdrawing from it is harder than anything.
vitamins. antioxidants.
