Thank you so much for all the information. During our sessions (about four so far) she has prepared me and we've discussed disturbing memories and worked on a safe place. I do feel safe with her,...
Hi Ready2Run, you have described myself in your post! I recently had a really bad episode and could not eat or hold a conversation because the anxiety was such an internal process and I was...
HI Xxplosive... so sorry to hear about your experience, it's so very frightening. I have had anxiety and panic since high school, actually probably longer but that's when it really got out of...
Ugh, so sorry you have those... I struggle with them from time to time and it is very difficult. Not sure how true this is but one doctor told me the anxiety is the last symptom to resolve from the...
Hi all, I have struggled with anxiety and panic for as long as I can remember. Recently some past traumas (more than 20 years old!) have surfaced and the anxiety and fear was so out of control I went...
Hi BeRock, sorry to hear of the physical ailments and hope you are on the mend soon and feeling better. I was inpatient for 9 days in August/September - my first time - and although it was very...
Hi Charlie, I'm so sorry the mornings are so uncomfortable for you. I recently switched medications (beginning of September). Prior to that my anxiety was out of control and at its worst in the...
Thanks for all you do Kitt... I've only been here a short time but always see your kind responses of encouragement. Lots of hugs and healing to you. Sue...
I agree with SC and would talk with your brother - you sound very supportive and concerned for her well being and she's very lucky to have you :) I have never heard of a medical doc doing a full...
Hi everyone, thank you for the welcome. Been feeling better lately and have gotten lots done around the house. I'm on short term disability at the moment and feeling more motivated to get back to...
Hi all, just wondering if there are others out there who have had success with Lexapro and anxiety. I started taking it around Sept 1st (10 mg) then was bumped up to 15 mg around Sept 4th. 20 mg had...
I'm surprised you were put on 50 mgs as the initial dose. I was on this med for years at 25 mgs and it helped me tremendously. Could never go up to 50 though as the side effects were too bothersome....
Oops, one more thought. If the Buspar makes you tired is it possible for your doc to prescribe this to counter some of the symptoms from Celexa? Maybe that is already the case. When I was increased...
Did you start at a high dose? I'm wondering if you could titrate up slower. I am very sensitive to meds and need to do this myself. Some of what you are reporting I have experienced with Lexapro. The...
Hi all, I'm new to this forum but not new to anxiety and panic. Been struggling with these two unpleasant symptoms for as long as I can remember. Waxes and wanes depending on my life circumstances....
Hi all, I'm Sue, just joined a few days ago. I've always struggled with anxiety and panic attacks but recently experienced my first major depressive episode and spent some time in the hospital. First...
Thanks for the welcome Karen. It's nice to have a place to go where others understand. :smile:...
Hi all, I'm Sue, new to this forum. Lynn I am on Lexapro as well, started September 1st. Like you I am very sensitive to meds so if your doc is ok with you staying on the low dose a while longer do...
