In reply to ANXIETY AND LEXAPRO~Week 6, posted by galkeepinon on September 18, 2003, at 0:56:17
I am at the end of week 5 of taking Lexapro. I had an adjustment period the first week I was on it, but then started feeling really good. I started feel "like my old self again" and have felt good up until now.
Now I have started having severe anxiety leading to panic to where I can't function. The main disturbing symptom is my chest will hurt a little, then my trunk and arms will go all hot, tingly and numb. Like I'm being pricked from the inside. I will have waves of this that last from 2 - 4 hours. I have had two episodes of this.
Has anyone else experienced this sensation? What is it from? Is it just a symptom of axiety?
