Depends!! When I got on lexapro, I started at 15 mg and felt it within a week and a half. After about two years I noticed my depression sneaking back up again and got it increased to 25 mg, which I’d say started helping my depression more around 1 1/2 weeks in and started kicking in for the anxiety-reducing part around 2 1/2 weeks in
