> I'm not feeling any improvement. also i have lost my appetite and am still having horrible panic attacks. my greatest wish right now is to just get a good nights sleep! my GP prescribed the 10mg. of lexapro and it's my first time taking anything. i don't know what to do - any suggestions? what will happen if i just stop taking it?
I agree with Sabena you havn't been on it long enough to see the effects. I started at 10mg the last week in April and on June 3 I was raised to 20mg from 15mg. June 2 was the first day I woke up with no anxiety. I do take Xanax 4 times a day, it did not do away with my anxiety, but it helped relieve some of it. My first night of peacefull sleep without waking up was last Thursday. Xanax will help you sleep. Try to hang in there I know it's hard, but you have to think it will get better. don't hesitate to ask for input we all will help the best we can. I found relief by just reading the writings from others.
Hang Tough!! Tim
