HA Anxiety!!!
My doctor prescribed me
lexapro
. And on day 2 woke up having diarrhea and a bad panic attack . I went to the er at 3 am . I couldn't stay seated. They ran more tests and everything came back normal. They think I might have IBS and of course my anxiety is connected to my gut issue.

Lexapro help!!!
So I've been taking 10mg of
Lexapro
for about 6 months and love it. It totally helped my anxiety and practically made it disappear.

Was doing better, even laughed at myself a bit. But, now I'm thinking I have something seriously wrong with my health again. ALS scares now.
So, I went to therapy and was prescribed 10mg of
Lexapro
. Took it for a bit, and I did feel better. I was led to this point because I was afraid I had COPD, then Heart Issues, Then Parkinsons, Then Lung Issues, then MS...and now....i'm onto thinking I have ALS.

Feeling lost: Depression sucks the life out of me.
I'm new here....I've battle with undiagnosed depression since I was 12 (now 20) Last September I finally saw a dr about it and she put me on
lexapro
and then switched to Amitriptyline 50mg. This past week has been hell. The other day I almost took all my pills just to end things.

Agoraphobia??
I question myself, being off
lexapro
now, after being on it for so many years, if that is playing a part in all this? Maybe I do have a chemical imbalance now, and need to be on them for life?

So now I have a name for my problem.... depression
Yesterday o went in again, and this time MD put me on
Lexapro
. So here we go.... How do I work towards overcomingvthis down feeling? My MD suggested counseling. But I don't really think I need it. She also said reading self-help books could help me. Where do I start?

Stopping My Antidepressant
I started on
Lexapro
10mg and next Celexa 20mg. After developing RLS and Insomnia from them I decided to stop taking my meds. Is that a good choice or should I just try different meds? I can already feel my mood swings coming on from the smallest thing. I try to stop it by taking deep breaths.

Worse before better with Lexapro?
I have been researching and it seems a lot of people feel worse before better on
Lexapro
. It's referred to as an "adjustment" period. I have a call in to my dr, waiting for a return call. Any experiences with this?

Info on Medications
I have a few questions about
Lexapro
. 1. In your opinion how effective is it for anxiety? 2. How long does it typically take to work? 3. Side effects? 4. Common dosage?

Evenings Worse?
I take my
Lexapro
in the mornings and I feel like most of the day I have zero emotion but every evening 5-6pm I start getting anxious again. It usually ends in a panic attack with me crying and agonizing over wanting to be my "normal" self again. Does anyone else feel evenings are worse?

Lexapro/Celexa caused my RLS
First one was
Lexapro
10mg, second was Celexa 20mg. Immediately after my first dose of
Lexapro
I noticed the RLS. Some nights were worse than others. One time the RLS kept me awake for FOUR days. On this fourth day I was basically a walking zombie.

Please help!!!
I've been on
Lexapro
for a little over 5 weeks. Helped a lot with the anxiety. Now I think the depression is really kicking in. I have constant thoughts of death (I have reached out to my doctor about this), not like I want to harm myself, but like being so terrified of it.

Sooo.
I'm on week 3 of 5mg
Lexapro
. So far, so good. I have seen a lot of improvement. The only thing I am concerned about now is the CONSTANT physical symptoms and fear that something bad is going to happen. How long till it fades?
