Hey Ryan, I think we have all had
those panic attacks, which are really
wierd cause they do come out of nowhere
sometimes! Recognizing them is the first
step to controlling them. I usually just
put my head down (sitting down) till it
passes. About the meds, some of the
anti-d's actually can make anxiety worse
in some people. You have to try different
ones to find the right ones for you. And
most take 6-8 weeks to get going,
including Lexapro. What about like some
Ativan for the panic attacks? Have you
asked your doc about this?

hey man,
welcome.
sounds like you're going through some
rough times. it's good that you're
seeking advice from others, because
without an open mind, it's tough to find
your way out of the maze.
what is going on in your life besides the
medications?
