You have a special place in my heart even though we don't know one another. I have been where you are and I'm so sorry this is happening to you - the fact you have this disorder and the fact you are having startup effects. I can so relate to both.
The easing of the anxiety was gradual and it took me a while to realize it - which is the bite of it. BUT, the good news was, it did ease and basically has gone AWAY... yah!!
To tell you how things are for me now, I almost forget IF I have even taken my dose. I'm at 20 mgs, mind you. I'm good about it, but I sometimes think to myself in the afternoon: "Did I take my Lex today..?". that's a good feeling.
Maybe you could think of this a akin to labor and birth. It's not much fun to endure, but there is an end and it's a good end. Maybe think of this that way?
I'm in your corner, no matter which way you go with this, okay?
You can babblemail me anytime, BTW. I would really like you give you some support - for what it's worth.
Love,
Glydin
