Anxiety drugs???
| Tue, 09-19-2006 - 9:15pm |
Does anyone know anyhing about the anti-anxiety drug effecxor????? I was recently recommended to start taking it as a daily medication but am extremely worried about possible side effects. I hear that any side effect typically isnt something to worry about and only kicks in for the first week or so of treatment. What about the threat of seizures??? I dont want to end up having seizures?? Anyone know if this is something I should worry about? I have very frequent anxiety attacks that started two years ago at age 23. I am 25 now with masters degree and am trying to make something of myself in life. Unfortunately these frequent nasty attacks have been something I have been at war with and I am attempting to lessen their impact on my daily life. I realize psychological help is in order and I have pursued it for a bit and am intending on seeking such support in the near future. I need to get through this very challenging time in my life where my nerves seem irrationally amplified 300000 times above normal and my mind and body is experience much distress.

The first 3 days were the worst for me on the Lexapro.

It sounds like you know the reason for your panic, and that's a giant first step; especially in therapy.

I am editing this to say it was Jay that I remember. He used to drop into chat. If he's out there, I wish he would post. His story was so similiar to Jacob's.
