The only 2 things that do help me is the something my Dr told me about, he called it " relieve panic in 6 minutes" it's a breathing exercise. Also, a bit of CBT in my head. Think about the thoughts,...

Jennings, that's how the lexapro was on me. I felt zoned out alllllll the time. It relieved some of my anxiety but the feeling of being zoned out led me to crying for long periods cause I just wanted...
Thanks guys. It's hard to explain to family and friends who just simply do not understand. Physical pain is nothing compared to mental pain. The only thing that keeps me going is my 2 beautiful kids,...
I am feeling EXTREMELY anxious. I don't know if that is from the Zoloft entering my system or because lack of lexapro. I have read a ton of good reviews about Zoloft, so I'm hopeful this is the one...
