First time I starts having depression anxiety issues were about 18 years ago. I took lexapro for the longest time and it helped so much. I left lexapro maybe 6 months ago and just last Sunday August 12 I had an anxiety attack. I have been through a lot of stress and are so worried about my job that has made Changes. I started escitalopram (generic lexapro) 10mg on that same day of my attack. I had some pills left over from when I stopped my treatment on my own dummy me. . It’s been a week today and I still feel anxious and so stressed. Has anyone been through this before. Please help I am so worried that my pills won’t work and can’t afford to go see my doctor. Tips on what to do about anxiety attacks and worrying too much. Please help I am desperate. Thank you in advance

I'm really sorry to hear about the returned anxiety. Getting back into therapy with medication is a good place to start. If you're having financial struggles, tell your doctor so they can work something out. For the panic attacks, I recommend watching YouTube videos by David Carbonell. He makes a lot of sense. Hope you feel better soon!
