Change in Escitalopram manufacturer lead to debilitating anxiety
I have been taking
Lexapro
for about 11 years now for sporadic panic attacks (maybe once a month). When the generic Escitalopram became available I switched to generic with no problem. Just recently I switched my prescription to Rite Aid and received a new manufacturer (Aurobindo).

Desperate
I have tried
Lexapro
but it keeps me awake half of the night. I find myself crying a lot and cannot stop. I need to talk to other people with the same problem. Does anybody know of support groups in the Chicago area?

Help relieve my mind please
I started on
lexapro
and it finally went away. Of course I have mild anxiety I can handle, but it's not a big deal or anything. So like a few weeks ago I started getting this aching pain on one side of my head, I get this pretty much everyday. Some days are worst than others.

It's not working anymore I've been on
lexapro
for a week. Went to psychiatrist and he wants to put me on buspar and then start taking me off klonopin. But I'm scared the buspar won't take care of the anxiety because it's not like klonopin and my anxiety is bad. Any suggestions?

Here we go with meds
My dr suggested doing to
lexapro
for 6 months and then slowly getting off of it, with the idea that it gives your brain a reboot in seretonin levels. I'm not looking for scary stories of ppls experiences on
lexapro
but has anyone found success in meds for GAD?

Lexapro to zoloft
So saw my new pdoc today and she is recommending a slow cross taper from
lexapro
to Zoloft. She said I shouldn't have to much of a problem since we are introducing the Zoloft while still on the
lexapro
so it can build up in my system before weaning off the
lexapro
.

New here and not feeling very well.
For a long time, I had minimal symptoms on 20 mg. of
Lexapro
. My stress level has increased significantly over the past 2-3 years. I recently was hospitalized in the psych ward for 5 days. While there, the doctor added Effexor to my
Lexapro
.

Lexapro
Started
Lexapro
per GP's direction with Xanax. Also given Ambien for sleep. It's been 10 days with some improvement but sad I've gone from no drugs to suddenly 3. Worried about long term consequences. Anyone have shared or similar experience with these meds?

Can't stop noticing my swallowing and breathing
I'm on high doses of
lexapro
and Buspar and still have tremendous anxiety about the thoughts of noticing my breathing and swallowing. Been dealing with this for many years, in therapy with an OCD therapist, still many struggles, anyone else have the same problems 😔😔

How to deal with panic attack without visit to ER room
She is taking
lexapro
daily for a couple of years. Today I was able to talk her out of ER room visit and we spent day together instead. How do I get her to understand that these attacks can be managed with TLC and some positive self talk?

No more meds!!
Three days ago I decided to stop taking my
Lexapro
10mg. I had been on this med for about three months and decided enough is enough. It really helped when I went through my breakdown but I don't want to be reliant on a medication.

New to the group!!
Now my days are filled with caring for my animals, pain pills, xanax,
lexapro
, seraquil and lots of sleep. I have huge trust issues so I usually push everyone away. I have overdosed twice , once I ended up in ICU with a breathing tube.

Newbie prescribed 5mg Lexapro for panic attacks
However, I'm scared to take
Lexapro
because I've been reading up on the side effects; it's kind of funny that my anxiety is keeping me from taking an anti-anxiety medication!

How long before Lexapro works
My doctor said 2-3 weeks and I'm on day 12, feeling somewhat better but still not "Me". I'm impatient but just want to know others experiences. I take Ativan at night and xanax as needed to control the panic attacks but both make me so sleepy

Depression or mid-life crisis
My doc prescribed
Lexapro
about a year ago, but it doesn't seem to be helping anymore. I haven't been on a proper vacation in many years. Sometimes I just feel desperate for physical touch.

My meds are off
My dr put me on
lexapro
after about 8 weeks it seemed like the withdrawel feelings came back and
lexapro
wasn't working. I went to a new dr here in my town because the dr I normally go to lives 1 1/2 hrs away but I truly trust her.

Anxiety/Panic Battle
The most recent therapist, suggested
lexapro
to help, but did not push it on me which I liked. I do not like taking medication, and but I feel like this anxiety is taking over my life. I am prescribed Xanax but I hate taking them and go through about 20 .5mg a year.
