> I barely got a prescription for lexapro this evening for Anxiety Attacks (panic disorder) and will start taking it tomorrow morning at 10mg. I am sensitive with meds and notice that in all the threads that there is different side effects. Is 10mg alot? I start work this Monday (2 days from now) and was off for 2 weeks. I dont want to go back to work and start having these panic attacks again. How fast does lexapro work for anxiety?
I started on Lexapro this week also. Doc started me on 5 mg but unable to tolerate with nausea, "fogginess" in head. I cut to 2.5 mg(quarter of pill) last night and my nausea is much improved. Im sure over time I will tolerate better and will be able to increase dosage. I was started on Lex for anxiety as well...we can take this journey together as we are both just starting...I heard you dont see results for a couple of weeks. Good Luck!
