Hi Jenn,

Being nautious, racing thoughts, yawning, dizziness and anxiety attacks are all common when starting on Lexapro. The good news is that it all goes away...the bad news is that you have to put up with it for a little while.

To help with your upset stomach, eat mild foods (breat, pasta, soup) and oddly enough drinking Coke sometimes helps with that. The racing thoughts and yawning are uncomfortable, but there isn't a lot that you can do to stop them.

For the anxiety attacks, ask your pdoc (psychiatrist) about benzos such as Klonopin, Xanax and Lorazepam. All of them will help you calm down before, during or after an anxiety attack. (Note: sometimes these meds that I mentioned are addictive, but if they are used as directed you're in very little danger of having problems with them.)

Please keep us posted on your progress. I hope you start seeing positive results soon.

K.
