I was told a year ago that I have severe anxiety but was told by a counselor, and she said it would be a month before I could see a doctor. Needless to say I never saw the doctor. I thought the problem I was having was adhd resurfacing but I know now it was not. Recently I have had leg pains and muscle spasm accompanied by tremors went to doctor he ran blood tests said everything was cool and said it was probably anxiety. To make a long story short I was prescribed lexapro and to a 10 mg tab mon the 7th of october. First 2 to 3 hours were ok I was a little spaced out feeling but that was only the start by 4 to 5 hours later I was having so much anxiety I thought I was gonna lose it. It was much greater than any I have ever experienced my legs started tightening up more got so shakey it was unreal and muscle spasms everywhere. Found myself bearing my teeth together. Called my doctor and he said to try taking it before bed. What do you peeps think? Saturday a friend gave me a xanex and that helped me not worry about all that is going on now but still had muscle pain and some spasms. Anyone got an answer about what they think I should do.
