Interestingly, my psychiatrist told me that it is very common for panic attacks to occur at night and many people who suffer from anxiety/panic feel that worrying prevents bad things from happening to them. The Lexapro really helps with that. I'm so grateful for this medication. I haven't been worrying at all for the last several weeks, at least not the way I used to. It's such a huge relief. Give it some time and don't rule out increasing if you don't feel better by week 9. I'm wishing you the very best, I've been where you're at and it can be terrible. But you won't be stuck there for much longer.

> K.Thanks K,
I can't imagine right now what it will be like to not worry constantly. Or automatically assume the worst about something. If it wasn't for my husband, I wouldn't attempt anything for fear that something will go wrong. Things have been going on in my life that I should really be feeling good about, even excited and I want to enjoy them. I'm hanging in there. Mary
