New to SSRI's, advice needed badly!

Posted by ichiru on June 3, 2006, at 19:17:58

Hello all,
I'm currently in my 2nd week of a Lexapro trial, going up slow (currently on 7.5 mgs) since in the past I've always called it quits on my SSRI trials in a matter of days. I'm again having increased anxiety symptoms, mild akathesia, waves of panic which come out of no where, and dp/dr. My psych assures me that this is always the case in the beginning, that it's "normal" for things to get a bit worse before they (maybe) get better, and to just take more Klonopin.

I'm not concerned about the other side effects like super dry mouth and major headaches, but waves of panic and feelings of impending doom seem to be, to me, abnormal side effects. Is this really normal and should I keep pushing? Sorry if this question is too lame, but I'm totally new to this stuff.

thanks...rula
