Yeah, as I've said in posts past, Vistaril may work for mild generalized anxiety or agitation, but it is utterly useless for panic. I got up to 400mg/day and it barely worked for my anxiety. Hell, it took 400mg at night just to get me to sleep a few times!
If you've been on the lexapro for 4-6 weeks, Tell your doctor it is not working at that you want Klonopin or Xanax XR. If this does not happen, go to an MAOI. If that does not happen, try perhaps Remeron. Raising the dose of Lexapro probably won't help; panic responds best to LOW doses of SSRIs, AFAIK.
