Advice please
I’m wondering if anyone here has been on the same boat. I was weaning off my lexapro and two weeks into being on 5mg dose (from 15mg,then 10mg) I took a major panic attack. Since then I’m in a constant state of anxiety more panic attacks and severe thoughts I can’t control about death or the way I’ll die or others around me it’s like my mind associates it with everything. I can’t sleep, my doc gave me sleeping tablets and Xanax as a bridge as we’ve gone back up to 15mg lexapro again. Everyone thinks this will fix all this but I’m 3 days into my original dose and feel the same if not worse. I never suffered with intrusive obsessive thoughts like this before and when I was originally put on these meds years ago it was for different reasons. I’m finding it hard to be hopeful this will all help. I’ve also approached therapy but in freaking out in those sessions too as of now my gp thinks I’m a bit fragile for therapy. I had a small health scare is the only other thing I could think of why this has happened and I’m scared I’m stuck in this way of thought forever. I let the thoughts come but they don’t pass I tell them there just thoughts but there really distressing.
Has anyone been through this?
