Hi everyone,
This board has been a great source for me. thanks to all.
Im on my 3rd week of Lexapro after being diagnosed with GAD and acute panic disorder.
My first week was rough. I really didn't know much about side effects and was convinced that I was dying of a disease not anxiety. I took it at night and had insominia and that burning feeling in my stomach. Im on 10mg and only weigh 95lbs very petite and have never been ony medicine in my life. I was scared and shaky and my therapist had me switch to taking in the morning. I take about 6:45am and by night I can sleep. My sister took me to her chiropractor and I have been getting adjusted and massaged and it really helps the nervous system. Ive been feeling better gained 5lbs and started to walk 30minutes a day and take yoga on weekends. I still experience side effects like shakyness and sweating, hot flash but I tell myself its just a side effect not a disease. Im hoping to wean myself off to 5mg soon and try to get back naturally. Its a journey but Im going to try my best to get my life back together. God Bless All--
