I was hoping you all could share your experiences starting on medication. I started Lexapro about two weeks ago for anxiety/panic for which I am off of work and had to put school on hold. It is awful. I did one week at 2.5mg and this past week I have been at 5mg. The anxiety has gotten so much worse to the point where I can’t leave the house most days and have a hard time even conversing with anyone. I am still having vivid dreams (which started along with the anxiety) and panic episodes. But overall this is definitely worse than before I started. I am going on week 3 now.. has anyone experienced such heightened anxiety and panic this far into taking the medication? Would appreciate your experiences!!
