Thank you!

i just wish i wasnt going through this at all.

i have had a managable anxiety that has come and gone for years - but mostly it was 'gone'.

then once i stopped breasfeeding slowly but surley i became so irritable and snappy and anxious. the anxiety part gradually happened over 2 months until the two panic attacks (one 3 weeks ago and one a week ago fri) - and i just cant deal with those...so felt i had to address this. i had no idea taking an SSRI would create so much havoc - research - etc...i thought ok should i go this route and take the elxapro and get on drugs...but in no way did i think i'd be faced with this. TRULY unmeasured panic like i have NEVER had in my life on this stuff - so it feels WRONG to keep trying. the only reason i am willing to try is success stories like yours and blueberries. it is just very strange to want to take smthg that increases (to a level i have never had) the very feeling i want to go away.

do you agree or have you heard that maybe too low of a dose could give SEs only and no 'good stuff' so to speak - like emily eliz said? i dont know if you remembered that i tried 5 mg 2 days two weeks ago and my eyes dilated and i felt drugged. at least not panicky tho - but not enough time i guess for that SE in 2 days. should i keep on w. the 2.5 mg a day? i cant imagine taking more if it would give me MORE panic.
