> How are you feeling now? I've been on Lexapro for three days. It has helped the depression (which couldn't have gotten any worse) but isn't doing anthing for the anxiety. I have been taking xanax for a few weeks (ever since I was assaulted). I need it sometimes at night, but always in the morning. During the past weeks, I toss and turn in my sleep and wake up repeatedly in extreme panic attacks. I take some xanax and try to go back to sleep. But for some reason, mornings are the worse. I can hardly live with it.
> So you are a few days ahead of me with the Lexapro and I'm just wondering if you've had any progress.
>info you will get panic attacks at during night and morning due to your body being low on blood sugar level try some juice 1st thing in morningand as for waking up in anxiety it is common try the xanax but carefull xanax can be addictive if you realy over doit,but iwas told take xanax during begining days of an SSRI's they pump you up with fear etc.. then the body gets use to it and you level out your experiencing early stages of medicine causing anxiety its like the flu shot it is flu virius in you so body can fight ti ,just hang in there trust me and it will work soon, stay busy and stay in a happy enviroment for a while no scary movies or news etc.. keep you body in a happy mode and when it all is over you be glad you stuck it out ask you DR about xanex info theres different MG's to take so be carefull God Bless Ill pray for you ,it will get better every day stay strong!your friend ,me
