> kkat. thanks for the follow up. I have been on Lex 10 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. I can't go this feeling. I am a surgery nurse and this can't happen. Talked with my doc at home while ago, he says may be withdrawal also from Paxil CR. Hec I don't know what to do. Prozac made me feel anxious.
>Prozac made me anxious too. I have been on zoloft since 1999. Went off when I was pregnant and back on during my 6 mos due to anxiety. It worked within 1 1/2-2 weeks. I gave it a total of about 5 weeks and for me, it didn't seem to work, so I started back on zoloft again. Thought Lex might be good. Not that I was that bad on zoloft. I guess I shouldn't have switched, but I did. I think people know if something is working or not. If you don't think it is, then talk to your doc. I have to call mine and tell him I switched back to zoloft. I told him last week should I go back on zoloft or give it some more time and he said give it one more week. That's when I said forget this, this panic attacks aren't worth it and they aren't subsiding. Hope my zoloft starts kicking in soon. I don't have near the panic attacks since I quit taking Lex three days ago, just the depression so will wait for zoloft to kick back in (I hope). Good luck! I know how you feel. It is very tough.
