In reply to LEXAPRO FOR ANXIETY...ANYONE LIKE ME??!!, posted by Rudi on August 4, 2003, at 9:09:54
Hi, Rudi. I am sorry to hear about your anxiety. I suffer from anxiety as well. I take effexor xr for mine. It seems to be helping a little however, I am not on a therapudic dose. I am scared to up the dose due to SE's. My docter prescribed me Lexapro at first, I came off b/c of SE's. I was very tired all the time and just felt horrible. I only took it 3 days. I probably didn't give it a chance. By the time I started the effexor xr I was willing to do anything. I just want to get better for my kids and husband. I have palipatations sometimes too. They are no fun and very scary. I was also on Paxil almost 1 1/2 years ago and came off b/c of weight gain. I guess we will just have to see how these meds work. I am trying to learn to cope with my anxiety as i don't want to be on meds forever. What about you>?Scooter1
