I've been on Lexapro for almost 2yrs now. It has been working really well for me. I started out on 10mg in Feb. 2009, now I'm up to 20mg. I have been panic attack free since Mar. 2009. However though its helped tremedously with no panic attacks, the body symptoms are like a roller coaster effect. They come and they go!! Now here recently, my more scarier body symptoms have returned, heart palps, off balance, a tad dizzy, jittery, giddy. I haven't felt those 4 months until now. Would it be bcuz I'm immune to Lexapro now? Or is it just me?? I'm just sayin & curious!;)

What are you going through right now that might bring on some anxiety?

Other than not having a job, and financial stresses, I really don't know! I mean both of those issues are BIG, but I'm getting unemployment right now, so I'm alright for a bit. I do feel like I'm in a mid life crisis bcuz I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with my life career wise, and I'm about to b 31 in about a wk! I was in school for Radiology, but don't know if I wanna do that anymore. I really want to be a fashion consultant, but to get a degree in fashion is extremely expensive! I'm totally stumped, and I feel like my husband and I should be farther, and have more than what we have. I'm very thankful for what we do have, I just feel like I want more. Not in a greedy way, just more accomplished. Maybe thats why I'm stressing. Just wish everything could fall in my lap, but I know I can't wait around for that to happen cuz it won't. I guess I need motivation, and PRAYER!!!
