Maddy, saw my pdoc today and she said that my extreme anxiety to lexapro means I am sensitive to meds. She said to go back on luvox as I never had side effects on it. And to continue my valium. She said my main problem is absolutely horrendouse anxiety. And the meds just make it worse. So no more lexapro for me. Not the right choice. Have you been on others before? What others were you on. Are you depressed? If not I firmly believe after years of trying SSRI's that they just do not relieve anxiety. May be good for depression. But we live in a benzophobic generation. So she is looking to find me a new pdoc in Charlotte area who will continue to treat me with benzos. And also at my request a good therapist. Fondly, Phillipa
hi - no i am not depressed. i was on prozac for one year abt 12 ish years ago - but it did nothing for me if i remember correctly. i just have panic/anxiety - peaking from hormones - so am not sure what is happening.... am HATING the lex so far but want to give it a chance - at least a week or two.
