I had a panic attack last night after starting lexapro and woke up with a racing heart. I felt better though our day but now that I’m at work I feel dissociated, out of it / tingly / lightheaded or slow ? and I’m trying to not have a panic attack. I work in restaurant so it’s pretty fast paced and I just would like some advice pls. My heads also pounding which I’m assuming is from panic attack so I took advil
I know side effects happen and it’s only first night so you can’t technically have side effects from it, idk maybe you can but I was laying down and my body started to feel hot / tingly and numb mainly my legs and arms and my legs are trembling and I just feel like I’m about to have a panic attack/faint. I’m on 10mg only and trying to relax myself but it’s scary because only time I have these panic attacks is when I smoke a lot of weed (which I quit a while ago) and idk if it’s the lex or not. Has anyone experienced this the first night or is it just anxiety ? It just feels weird to have this bc even tho I’m on this for anxiety I usually don’t have these intense, quick panic attacks rather I have anxiety attacks which are slow and different. Sorry I know this is prob asked alot it’s just scary to experience
hello, I started lexapro today for anxiety and panic attacks and I also have OCD but it’s pretty manageable however the past month my anxiety’s been pretty bad and I’ve been having tons of physical symptoms. I’m starting on 10mg and I just took it a bit ago, I’m a little nervous but I think it’s the anticipation. is it normal to feel a little anxious / foggy abt it ? Idk how to explain, I just think I’m worried about the medication even tho logically i know im on a low dose and it will 99% be okay and end up helping me I just know I have to stick it out for a few weeks
hello. the past few days I’ve been having really bad anxiety for no reason. Like physical symptoms but there’s nothing I am anxious about. I’ve felt a little brain foggy, like when I’m driving my eyes almost feel a little heavy but when I stop thinking abt it and listen to music I feel better so I think it’s anxiety. And for example, right now I’m laying down playing a game and it feels like there’s chest pressure and butterflies in my stomach. At work last night I also felt a little nauseous and lightheaded but I’m on my period so it could be that. Idk it’s just so annoying bc there’s nothing for me to be worried about but my chest and stomach feel like it’s doing cartwheels and my breathing is almost shallow?
