I too suffer with anxiety and panic attacks. It was really hard for me to keep my job. my doctor tried a few different medications and they gave me bad side effects. I was so ill all the time.. I lost my job. AFTER i was fired... I was put on Lexapro. WOW... what a great medication. The only side effect i got at first was drowsiness. It really helps anxiety and panic attacks. I definately think you will benefit from Lexapro. They will start you off at 10 mg but personally.. i would start off at only 5 mg. I am still only on 5 mg and feel great. Have not had any panic attacks lately at ALL! I have tried so many SSRI's and the side effects were miserable. Lexapro doesnt even seem like an SSri. Give it a try.
