Heather i hope you are doing great today with those beautiful kids! They really are theraputic to me when i look at them- remind me of my big kids when they were little- i have been waking up with panic attacks and i read on another post that you have had nightmares- what do you do when that happens- sorry but you are a great source of info for me now and hopefully i will be able to help someone too in the future. during the day i am doing a bit better. thanks, elaine

they seem to come especially when I am stressed out!
I usually try to relax and go back to sleep sometimes
I have to get up for awhile and walk it off! It is for me
the meds wearing off- I wonder if that is what happens to you
also??? GLAD you are doing better in the daytime!
Panic is nasty!! Take care, Judy

hi Elaine, I can't remember whether you were taking medication or not. One of the well known side effects of lexparo is that it causes nightmares and vivid dreams. even without medication, anxiety can affect every aspect of your life, including your dreams. Im sorry that you're experiencing it :( but you'll get better! we all do :)
take care,
Mia
Elaine,
Ask away, thats what I'm here for.
Tell me again what dose of lexapro you are on? I am on 30mg and that seemed to be the jump (20mg-30mg) that really seemed to help stabalize me. I still think that I need to go a bit higher. 20mg is the recomended dose of it but my pdoc has gone up to 50mg. The best advice I got on this board is to trust your Dr. so thats what I do.
I have learned to deal with the nightmares. I just pray and talk
dear heather,
I am sorry to hear about your mother's car. Sometimes when it rains it pours. thank god you have your faith. i am still on 10mg lexapro and take the klonopin .25 3x a day and a sleeping pill. Still panic in middle of night. i will try to pray- and becomng more religious after a lapse. thanks.
thanks for the support. dothe sideeffects of the lexapro- nightmares/panic usually end?
hope you are feeling good, elaine
