Stress Center Peer Support

I just started on Lexapro 10mg again. It's my third day and I just had the worst anxiety attack of my life and almost went to the ER because my heart was pounding and I was scared to get up out of bed. Now I'm scared that's going to happen from now on and I'm in college already missed 2 classes and probably not going to go today either. I just don't want this to affect my classes and grades, because once I get there I get anxious.

I am wondering if there is anything I can take that will calm me down and take the edge of until the medication starts working? I really need something.

I have 2 mg. valium that help me alot.There are also foods that give a calming effect.I know turkey is one of them.You can look online and find others.I know its hard,but you need to get up and get to school.Feel the fear and do it anyway.Float through your feelings till they pass.(fake it till you make it).You will be glad you did. You CAN do it! You`ll be fine.
Have a great day!
