Lexapro has given me anxiety

Is it possible that Lexapro can give a person anxiety? I needed a medication for severe depression. My Dr. put me on 20mg of Lexapro. I am now taking 5mg of Abilify to help the boost the Lexapro. I didn't notice the restlessness/anxiety until a month on the Lexapro. Anyone else have this side effect?

Yes! I dont know wether it is the Lexapro or the side effect of the Abilify?

Restlessness? Hmm.... do you pace around or have an extreme urge to get up and walk when you sit or lay down?
