> I have been on efexxor for almost 3 years and was changed to Lexapro a few days ago...I don't know if the problems I'm having now are from the change in med's or what but God theres a lot of them. If someone could let me know I would appreciate it. I was fine the first 2 days but on the 3rd day...lightheaded, short of breath, dizzy, shakey, heart running away..like I was having an anxiety attach that I couldn't control...I went to bed it was so bad and then all hell broke loose...dream's that I couldn't breath, that I was having a heart attack and on and on until I woke my self up and then the other side effects hit again....this is the 4th day and I did not take it today I went back to the Effexor and have a call into my doctor to find out if that was a good thing or not...any suggestions......oh and I still feel really shakey and all the other side effects are still there I assume they will go away in a couple days or at least I sure hope so...any help or am I going completely psycho????? HELP!!

is it possible that its withdrawl from your other meds. we need weaned off most of them... just a thought. there are side effects when you start lex. maybe they should have started you at a lower dose....
take care
