Leapro

[Muchneeded]

Hi

My doctor gave me lexapro and I feel like it's giving me anxiety. I have only just started it. I took it twice now. The first night I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible panic attack and never recovered. My whole day was terrible. Last night I fell asleep and woke up feeling my normal self. I took the medication around 12:30am and I feel full of anxiety again. Maybe this medication is not for me. Any insight?

Hi didn't your doctor tell you that it is common to feel worse at first until the meds kick in? They can take up to 6 weeks to fully start working so it's best to persevere if you can. If not then go back and ask for a different one as they might suit you better. x

He told me two weeks to kick in nothing about feeling worse before your feel better

Hi! I have the same issue when I take lexapro, I get shake-y and panic a lot. I also have anxiety and when I take those pills alone I get really tired and sedated. So I found taking them together puts me at a good medium. I don't know if that helps
