Once again Bob thank you for the help...It is weird because when I have been struggling with the anxiety and I have felt better about the depression but the anxiety makes you depressed again....My Dr. has been telling me to take xanax which I have taken before for the anxiety..But because I am soooo phobic about taking meds at all I have rejected that idea and she just keeps tellling me to take a small dosage to get through the day to get me used to the Lexapro..This has been a struggle..Well today I had to drive myself to work which is another hard thing for me to do but my daughter was working and my husband was working out of town...Well by the time I got to work I had the worst anxiety attack...I finally took a xanax and it made me feel better but I couldnt bring myself to take another one this afternoon..Think I need to just realize that I might need some help before the Lexapro sets in..>My question is has anyone else taken these drugs and is it a problem to get off or do you have to continue to take them..I really had hoped that the anxiety wasnt going to be a problem..I really dont know how much longer I can deal with not knowing if this will go away with the Lexapro...My dr feels confident that it will get better and even wanted me to go up to 20mgs not ready for that yet but would consider 15mg and she said there has been no proof that there is any difference changing to 15mg...So confused oh yes i'm still confused...discouraged yes i'm still discouraged...I just want to be better and dont want to give up on something that might help but i'm really having thoughts that scare me...I know this is long and I apoligize..but thank you for listening and thank you so much for answering...God bless you all...Thanks Mystic
