Hi Emily,
The fear that you're going to loose control in public is commonly associated with anxiety or panic attacks. It sounds like you're either still going through withdrawl from the Paxil or the Lexapro hasn't kicked in yet. It took 6 weeks and an increase from 10 mgs to 15 mgs before Lexapro had an impact on my panic attacks.
I've probably asked already, but are you taking a benzo such as Xanax or Klonopin. They're fantastic for anxiety and can help you with your transition from Paxil to Lex.
Your body needs some time to adjust to all the medication you're taking along with the birth control pills. Things will settle down soon and you'll start feeling better.
