Panic Anxiety really stinks. I've been on Lexapro for about a week now, and I can say that I'm already feeling the benefit. The sweaty doomed feeling has subsided quite a bit, though the rapid heart beating is still present. It's odd though, I haven't gone into full blown panic today or yesterday and at several times I really felt that it was about to take off. The phisical symptoms have truly improved, I'm very surprised. However, it still doesn't change the thought process which is so ingrained. My palpatations are minium so I'm not obsessing on the heart attack consequence as much, but I feel my self moving to another disease, I feel a twinge in my head and now I'm in the thought cycle of it's a stroke. A muscle gets a pain and I think it's a lymphoma (I have no idea what half the things I make up for myself really are.) That's what I really need to work on. Stopping this continual cycle of finding a worry. I don't understand why I do this. That's the thing that really depresses me; "why cannot I feel healthy?" The docs tell me I am, and I CANNOT believe them. This is my source of frustration. Ugh. But I should be happy; things are way better than they were last week.
