I started Lexapro the end of May. I also experienced in the beginning terrible anxiety attacks that really scared me. i questioned if i should stay on this med and i posted it on this board. several people told me to "hang in there" with this medication and i did - boy was i glad i listened to their advise. I'm feeling much better now and i see improvement - in fact - since this was given to me by my GP, i've decided to find a good p-doc so i can learn more and hopefully stay on this medication. my GP said she would keep me on Lexapro for only six months to a year and then slowly take me off and if i felt i needed it again she would put me back on!!!! no way - one of the worse times was starting this medication. any-way hang in there - IT WILL GET BETTER. kinsey. p.s. i do get times of extreme tired-ness - but hey it's much better than the insomnia i was gettting prior to lexapro!!!
