So as some of my friends here on the forum know, this week was my first week back to work after what was a scary few weeks which included a really bad panic attack that put me in the hospital and 3 days in a mental hospital.
Anyway, I had a pretty good week with minimal anxiety. However, today my anxiety was pretty high and I felt like I was about
to have a panic attack at one point but I just rolled with it and it went away and never became full blown. I think the Lexapro has begun to kick in and keep my panic attacks at bay but I still feel dizziness and other anxiety symptoms....sometimes I feel it more than others. Sometimes its not too bad.
I have been doing meditation and that has helped quite a bit. Today has been rough though. I have been on Lexapro about
5 weeks now. But I have only been on the new dosage of 20 mg for 15 days now. I have felt a difference but today made me feel like I went backwards.
My questiom to those of you with experience like Hibee, SC, and the other great people on this forum is, should I start doubting the Lexapro is going to work? I mean I have felt a difference. I feel anxiety but it isnt as crippling. I know SSRI's basically make you have good days and bad days before the good days start outnumbering the bad days, so maybe Im just worried because I had a setback.....
Oh well thats the beauty of anxiety, right? Ha ha, gotta laugh about
it. I do feel improvement....today just sucked. Would love to hear some thoughts and support!
