I take 10mg Lex for depression but as a result I too have anxiety. I have only had mild panic attacks like three times while driving and one night of really bad panicky feelings for a few hours. And a good full week of deep depression and thats out of four weeks on this stuff and that is comparing to ten years of living with axiety attacks just about on a daily basis. So I would say its working but I also have PMDD and the attacks while driving and the bad night where during the week before my period. But everyone is different and from what Ive read the med can make you feel a little anxious at first because you feel a little different and think about it. Its chemically altering you. And other then the PMS, I havent felt like this in ten years and the first week, I was like ok am Im going to get anxious because the comfortable feeling felt new and odd. But I was like hey just enjoy. I also think you cant rely soley on a med to stop the panic. Maybe at first but Im taking advantage of this time and Im trying the whole medication, exercise daily, and positive thoughts thing. Its seems to be working we'll see. Talk to me in a few weeks before my period I'll probably have nothing nice to say.
