In reply to New to SSRI's, advice needed badly!, posted by ichiru on June 3, 2006, at 19:17:58
I'm afraid that all SSRI's actually cause panic in some folks (like me) when starting or increasing the dose. Yes, I'd get some relief from the Klonopin during startup-that's a really standard thing to do. That's the problem with so much psychoactive medication: when you are feeling badly (that would be why you're taking the meds!), it makes you feel WORSE, at least for a little while. But Lexapro has a good rep in the anxiety community and is definately worth trying; as un-fun as it is now. Hang in there, man.
