In reply to Xanax - Lexapro..Is it anxiety or depression???, posted by jewelzz on November 21, 2003, at 8:38:45
i'm unfamiliar with lexapro---but any odd or unpleasant symptoms from a med should be immediately reported to the dr. i learned to stop some panic with distraction, like checking my car's tire pressure or fiddling with loved old cameras. but apparently i also have a damaged cardiac (esophogeal) sphincter and that can make things worse. wellbu knocked me to the floor for hours---i couldn't move, just 'vibrate' from the inside out. my panic is considered chronic, but i've gone years with no problems. stress is a key factor, and panic has a way of makeing it worse. i pray things improve for you---one important thing---if you've ever had trauma to 'the gut' area, like a hiatal hernia, panic will show up in many cases. and i'm sure you've noticed there's 'little panic' and then there's 'the big one'---your dr. was wise to warn you on xanax. i wouldn't touch the stuff unless one Knows a whopper's hit you. best wishes.
