> > Hi everyone, I am taking lexapro for panic attacks.I also take imipramine. I was on xanax but my doc changed me to klonopin. Well I was taking 10 mgs. of lexapro but still having a bit of panic, so she increased it to 15 mgs. It is now day 6 of 15 mgs. of lexapro. Feel more panic in my head. Bit agoraphobic. Klonopin has relaxed my body but doesn't seem to stop the panic so much in my head. Doc told me to wait 2 weeks to feel better. Has anyone else had this problem? Does the panic go away? I am so sick of it. Plus I have a headache from the lexapro. Appreciate any advise. Thanks

>Sorry to butt in, but could you tell me if the Celexa stopped the anxious thoughts in your head? Also, how long did it take to work. I started Celexa about 3 1/2 weeks ago (1 week at 10 mg, 1 week on 20 mg and now at 30 mg) after weaning off Effexor XR for two weeks. I am still feeling a bit anxious (but the increased anxiety could be from the Depo Provera shot I had at the beginning of August). Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
