Chest pain on Lexapro
| Wed, 06-14-2006 - 7:07pm |
Hi all-
Just started 10 mgs Lexapro today. I took it at 1 with a xanax and lay down while my daughter was napping. We just had dinner and Im having pain in the middle of my chest. Im starting to get panicky, Im alone with my babyand always think Im going to die and no one will know. Please tell me that this is a side effect. I feel short of breath. The pain isnt constant, comes and goes. I think Ill take another xanax. Is 10 mgs a high dose to start on? Someone elese said they started on 5. Im obsesing and looking all over the web for any fatality from Lexapro and wont be happy until I find something bad. Why oh why do I torture myself! I should be playing with my daughter and Im frantic on the computer. I cant take it anymore. I had a panic attack from the storm today, now my health.

You poor thing. I did the same thing when I started medication. I worried so much, that I made myself sick. I also did too much research. Trust your doctor that you are doing the right thing by you and your daughter. I was so scared to be on it for so many reasons, and i finally tried to tell myself that it was ok, and I'd rather feel better, than deal with the anxiety all the time.
Good luck to you! Good thing you came to this site to vent. Hopefully it made you feel better.
Love and hugs to you!

I have to say that I think you are so worried about feeling
effects from the med so you are!! Please try concentrating on
something other than how you feel if you can! Get busy with
your little one and give your medication some time----
I know it is hard to live through but please try to hang on!!!
Come and talk to us and we will try to get you through this
I felt so often like you do--- it WILL GET BETTER!!! HUGS! Judy

Donna, I have stopped taking Lexapro in the past with no problems whatsoever.
