In reply to Lexapro dosage for anxiety?, posted by jake97tx on February 3, 2004, at 21:20:03
Been there. Done that. Got the tee shirt.
But that doesn't help you. I hope this does. When the Paxil works its way out of your system things will be a lot easier. I wish I could tell you honestly when that will be. Unfortunately, the thing that makes us absolutely unique and extremely unduplicatable makes it impossible to predict how we will react to chemical compounds or anything else for that matter.
It will pass. If I knew what it was I would recommend a nice natural substance that you could run through your body to wash out the Pax. I don't. Maybe someone on this board does. It doesn't matter. Time will take care of it. I beg you to be patient until it does. Listen to your bod as it processes things. It's a good practice to listen to the inner voice with respect to what your body processes. When it's done you'll feel much better, I promise.
> Hi...
> I have pretty bad panic disorder with agoraphobia. I say 'bad' because I'm anxious throughout the day even at home. I've been on Paxil for 8 years and am currently battling withdrawal from that crap. PDoc put me on 10 mg of Lexapro a little over 5 weeks ago. I've noticed I am less prone to Panic Attacks (in fact I haven't had one!), but I'm still anxious throughout the day. So my question is, should I give it a little more time to kick in or increase my dosage? Or...is Lex even effective for anxiety?
> I am currently down to 2.5 mg of Paxil (the end of that nighmare is almost in sight!)

> Current Cocktail:
> 10 mg Lex
> 2.5 mg Pax
> .25mg x 3 Xanax
