I am wondering if after I finish the recommended 6 months of Lexapro, if I will feel normal or if my anxiety will be back and I will be stuck taking meds forever.....or will I be worse than before? I...
Thanks for all the advice! I am on day 3 and I feel fine except for the burning in my arms that comes and goes. I hope it goes away. :( I also don't have much of an appetite. I'm just wondering if...
So I took my second dose this morning and I halved it. I did have some tummy issues but nothing serious. No anxiety. I still felt some warm tingly feelings in my arms about an hr after I took it but...
I think I might need smaller dosing too. I just have so much anxiety about taking this pill. I'm suppose to take my second one tonight but think I will wait until the morning after I take my kids too...
How was the weaning off process for you? Hopefully not too bad. How long before you got back on it?...
Thank you :)...
Thanks Hibee. How long were you on it? Was getting off as hard as everyone says. I definitely want to try CBT. Just am not sure where to start. I guess I will ask my dr to refer me to someone....

Thanks for answering my questions. I am glad I found people to talk to who understand the whole anxiety thing. My friends and family don't really get it....
Thank you teacher 9075. I already have vivid dreams and headaches bc I clinch at night. I am hoping the lexapro doesn't make it worse. I took it about an hr ago and I'm actually relieved I got it...
Thanks 2serious. That gives me hope. We shall see how this goes. And momtogigiandquinn- I will definitely keep everyone updated. I have had my prescription for a couple weeks and am now finally...
Have you had any bad reactions to your lexapro? I start tonight. I'm kinda freaking out. :/...
Do you not have any xanax :(...
I have mostly stayed away from caffeine which is hard. One day I had two energy drinks from Herbalife and I had a big panic attack that night. :( kindof been scared to drink caffeine since then....
I recently got diagnosed with GAD. 3 months ago I had my first major panic attack on an airplane and have had anxiety and panic attacks ever since. It's weird. I am 35 years old so it's not something...
