In reply to Re: Is Lexapro helping anyone with anxiety, posted by cody on October 18, 2002, at 15:24:30
> Not really sure what my dx is. It started 3 years ago, after what was to me a taumatic experience. My symptoms began with nausea, dizziness and progressed into a constant state of extreme anxiety. I thought and still think that I was on the verge of a breakdown. I can't concentrate, very anxious and my heart pounds 24/7. Was put on Remeron and ativan and have been on them ever since. It has allowed me to function but I don't think I have felt any kind of happiness in 3 years, which is why I think my doc wanted me to try Lexapro. Right now I feel worse than before and I don't think I can take it much longer. I have a husband and 4 young children and I'm barely managing to cope. I was hoping that the Lex would be my answer, to make me feel "normal" and "happy" again. I'm starting to think that's never going to be possible. I'm sorry to ramble and give you my life history, but I don't know what to do right now. This board has been a big help, and I appreciate all of your advice.

> Thanks,
I went through the same thing in 1986..why not just try lexapro and xanax? I have tried them all and lexapro has been the best for me. I have been on it just one month and it has worked wonderfully, I use xanax but rarely now. Once you find the right medications that work together you should start to feel like yourself again. Its a long road but getting the right combination of meds is the key.
