Should I take Lexapro

[Amytat]

I have tried it all. This nasty feeling of oh I might die isnt going anywhere

I think I should go on a medication

You sound just like me!!! I’ve been fighting extreme anxiety and panic attacks for 11 years. I tried everything except medication. I’m so afraid to take anything. But finally started taking Lexapro a few months ago. I had to. I kept going to the emergency room with awful symptoms. I kept thinking it couldn’t all be due to anxiety, but it must have been because The Lexapro is helping me. And I haven’t had any side effects taking it. The first time I took one I took it in my psychiatrist’s office just in case. I hate the thought of taking drugs. But sometimes we haven’t got a choice. So that being said you might want to try it. I started with only 5mg then 7.5. Then 10mg. Good luck !! I hope this helps ❤️

Thank you so much

Has it helped to recover completely? Mine is 1.5 years of struggle with thoughts about dying

It has helped me immensely. Not quite 100%, but pretty close to it. And I was petrified of any medication. I always tried natural things first but they didn’t work for me so that’s why I decided to just go ahead and try The Lexapro. I’m not sorry I did. And of all the SSRI’s, Lexapro has the least side effects!!
