Forst panic attack since Lex

I've been on 5mg for 4 weeks. Generally, my anxiety has been well-tolerated for the past 1-2 weeks. However, tomorrow I have breakfast at a restaurant with my family, and the apprehension I feel tonight is killing me. I don't know how I'll be able to sit down at the restaurant, wait to be served, eat, wait for the bill, etc. It will be the first time at a restaurant with my baby since I gave birth. It stresses me out so much. I'm afraid I'll have all the physical symptoms of anxiety. First panic attack since I take Lex.

Does it eventualy stabilize?

A few hours after taking my pill, I start to feel anxious. I imagine this is when the medication is most active in my body. Has anyone else noticed this? I've been on the 5mg dose for over three weeks.

Trying to stop taking benzo

It’s Day 18 on 5mg. I’ve had significant side effects from the start. For the past few days, I’ve been dealing with anxiety and waking up very early in the morning. I used to take 0.5mg of lorazepam in the morning and another dose later in the day. For the last few days, I haven't been taking the morning dose, and I’ve been doing pretty well. Yesterday, I tried skipping the evening dose. That was a huge mistake—I slept terribly. I’m wondering if, at Day 18, I’m ready to stop taking lorazepam altogether.

Any advice or similar story.

Escitalopram for anxiety

I suffer from anticipatory anxiety. I started taking 5mg of escitalopram a week ago. Based on your experiences, was 5mg enough to free you from the anxiety?
I'm afraid to increase the dose and experience another week of side effects.

First days on escitalopram

I’m at day 3 of taking cipralex 5mg. I am really sensitive to medication. After how many days do the side effects start to go away?
I have 2 kids (7yo and 2 months). I’ll be on my own with them because my partner goes back to work tomorrow. I’m worried about getting through the day while dealing with the side effects and looking after my two children.
