Hi, Kim.
That feeling is a natural side affect with Lexapro from what I've read since I came to the message board.
I had the same feeling for a few days myself the first week I was on Lexapro. I'm five days into my second week now, and believe it or not, most of the side affects have completely gone away. I know that it takes some people up to four or five weeks to be rid of the SE's, but it looks like I won't take as long. I'm on 10 mgs a day, and I think it's working well enough that I won't have to increase the amount.
I can say all of this after I just went through an emergency heart catheterization with my Dad yesterday. They also found the problem and spent an hour and a half repairing an artery. I'm happy to say that I made it through the day just fine, without any feelings of panic at all, and my Dad is doing great right now. I figure yesterday was like a test for me, and if I made it through that, then I can make it through anything else.
My thanks to everyone for the support I've received here on the message board.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Fruitful New Year.
Sincerely, BobYuma
