bad side effects after 2 doses- help!
Hi, I’m new here. I was just prescribed Lexapro this week. I’ve taken
it (10mg) two nights now. I’m suffering massive panic attacks, loss
of appetite. I think it;s weird that I’m having such big side effects
already, but I haven’t had panic attacks like this in YEARS. I have
been prescribed 10mg, but I’m thinking it’s too much since I’m having
such a reaction, plus I only weigh about 98lbs (5′1″). I’ve been
given .25 Xanax and I’m planning to take it tonight when I take the
Lexapro to help reduce the anxiety I’ve been waking up in the night
with.
Here are my questions to those of you with more experience:
-normal to feel these side effects right away?
-do others experience this affect often?
-will they go away?? when???
-how can I cope when I’m “freaking out” with panic attacks???
I guess I really need hope and encouragement that I’m doing the right
thing by sticking with it and that these panic attacks will go away.
Any hope to offer???
