Today I am back at 10 mg of Lexapro ! I am anxious and on edge all day.

Okay, try to hang in there until Friday, and in the mean time, I hope that you can find a P-doc who is close by.

A medical doctor is qualified to treat and prescribe for anxiety issues...but a mental health specialist is of course a very good choice for anyone wanting expertise in this area.:)

Keep posting.:)

S.C.

I just want to be calm , like my OCD is nothing I can control it but , sometimes I feel I get panic attacks and anxiety out of nothing , like this time is not even caused by OCD.The problem is when I get a panic attack doing something I feel like not doing it again, so I feel worried that this my cause me get depressed. Sometimes I get so scared of geting depressed like " What if I get depressed and try to kill myself " , when I was little I became depressed after my OCD began, I fear depression because I know how bad it can be. Probably this is just my Ocd and anxiety making me worry about depression or fear it. I just I love my life and I love fiancee, I want to be ok. Ahhh I just want to feel fine like I was a month ago! Maybe i am thinking too much in how to end this anxiety, like i want to feel better so much and end this panic attacks , I feel I am obscessing with my own anxiety and panic attacks. Thank you I am going to see if I can get to see a psychiatrist.

Thank you!!

Hi

How are you feeling today? I take the same medication as you and have found it to be a good choice but it does take anywhere between 6-12 weeks before the benefits can be seen. Also when first taking it I found my anxiety increased but this only lasted a couple of weeks then things settled down.

Glad to here you are looking to find a phycologist they should point you in the right direction re treatment I can highly recommend mindfulness as I have just completed an 8 week course and found it to be really helpful.
