I did not have anxiety before. I was a happy person and didn’t really get too stressed about much. I work full time in finance have 2 daughters in dance and I started going back to school so I don’t know what it was but I had 6 anxiety attacks in a matter of 6 weeks the last 2 had me not sleeping 3 nights in a row and I ended up in the er which they gave me Ativan. I tried for 7 weeks to hustler my body get back to normal and it did not. The dr out me on Lexapro I started at 2.5 and moved up every week to 2.5 till I got to 10 I felt better and was not having daily panic and even felt back to myself somedays. Panic came back at week 4 Dr told
Me to go to 15 I felt good week 3 and kinda went back to just ok still have some anxiety and feelings of dread often at week 5 stated having. Extreme hunger that was even waking me up at night. She told me after that lasted a week to go back to 12.5. I fortunately have not had bad side effects still can orgasm, doesn’t make me drowsy not thirsty or dry eyes none of the stuff everyone complains about. The extreme hunger and me not being able to tell when I’m full is not good especially when I just feel ok. I felt way better my normal self then I do on lexapro. Everyone says they feel amazing and no anxiety I just don’t feel that way at all I can’t wait to get off should I try something else? It stinks bc I don’t have any other bad side effects, should I give this more time?
