I currently take Lexapro. I still have panic attacks also, but they are not as bad, also my agarophobia may have lessen a little. Lexapro makes me yarn alot, but the medication may take a while to work. I was prescribed 20 mg back in September 2016.

Hi 1994smilelove, I've been on Lexapro for the past 5 years. Started on name brand then down the line switched to generic (was too expensive). For me, it works. No drugged or drowsiness feeling. Started on 10mg went to 15mg. It takes from 4-6 weeks to reach efficacy. Your starting dose was low and needs time to build up. 10 days is not enough. Hang on for a while. GoodLuck

I take lexapro, the same dosage. Mine took about two weeks to start its effect. It usually takes up for four weeks for an anxiety medicine to work. It will work just give it time. Ik it's hard right now, but you'll get through it. If that doesn't help maybe switch up to a higher dosage.

I've taken lexapro on and off for 10+ years. It helps me with my depression. But as for being anxious and panicky it can induce those feelings for me, so I take Klonopin for anxiety the same time I take the lexapro and it helps.
