Hi Leno! I am now 13th week of Lexapro (mostly at 10mg) and had very similar start up and set back experiences as yourself (sporadic bad days). Around week 9/10 I was feeling decent but noticed a...
Hi there! How long have you been taking lexapro? I only ask because I started lexapro 10 weeks ago and had to take the whole .25 of xanax every night for the first 8 weeks (had the same racing...
Nicely done, Leno! I know its difficult. Sending thoughts and prayers your way in hopes the 10mg does the trick! Keep us posted :)...
Leno - If you had a spike in anxiety when you first started, it is very likely you will have another when you up your dosage. This is very common and not something to get discouraged about. In my...
Hi Leno, I was in the same boat as you about 7 weeks ago. My anxiety disorder literally came out of no where this year and knocked me on my rear (first time anxiety suffer). I was so afraid of taking...
Hi Ladies! I'm still quite new to the anxiety life and have a personal question to ask. I'm going on my 3rd week of lexapro to help with my anxiety and have been doing very well, despite a horrid...
So anxious about returning to work tomorrow. I've only been gone for a week and a half but I'm so nervous about going back. I'm day 18 on lexapro and feel like the meds are helping with my anxiety...

Make it through last night without a xanax so that was a huge win. My anxiety has been really rough today though :( . Any suggestions for eating during this time? I have zero appetite whatever and...
Thank you all so much for the support. Today has been better so far but I did take a xanax this morning. The night time seems to be the worst time for me so we'll see how tonight goes. I'm taking off...
Thank you all for the encouraging words. This has definitely been a very humbling experience. I am trying to stay as positive as possible and stick it out. I envy your confidence in the process and...
Hi all! Second post on this forum and wanted to post an update. As a first time anxiety sufferer, I made the decision to start Lexapro 11 days ago because my quality of life had become unbearable....
Thank you all for the encouraging words and experiences. I stopped the adderall after my first panic attack in fear it's stimulants would increase the likelihood of having another. My doc is only a...
Hi All- First time to a forum like this and desperate for help. Just as a little background… I am 28 yr old that lives a pretty fortunate life. I have an amazing job that I’ve been very successful...
