Q: Lexapro Please Help Me!!!!!

I went to the doctor with a mild case of anxiety and at first he gave me xanax(.25mg) which pretty much did the trick. Once I finished the prescription I was fine for a little bit until the panic returned. I went back and he decided to prescribe me lexapro(10mg). I took a pill and a half and this has to be the worst product on earth. I’ve already experienced every side effect from supper depression to muscle twitches to sexual problems, diarrhea to headaches the list goes on. I decided to go cold turkey after 2 days on it. My question is how long will these symptoms last? Cause i’ve been off it for 2 days now and I feel worse then ever, like im a depressed zombie.(ps. I’ve never been depressed in my life until I took this pill) please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And one more note, I took 1 pill on tuesday (nov 2Cool, and a half a pill on wednesday(nov 29). Today is saturday and I still feel like a zombie(like im not myself) im still experiencing body twitches, insomnia, loss of appetite and sexual dysfunction. What’s going on??????All this from only 2 pills?

Whoa
Well I could tell you that I have tried various times to take lexapro 10mg and the first day I took that pill, my symptoms just worsened I ended up in the er after the second day on that crap, of course I was having a panic attack. But that pill is meant for you to feel worse for the first 2 weeks and then you start seeing some improvement. I just couldnt handle the symptoms so I got off it, and that was that, all im taking now (when needed) is .50mg of alpralozams. Im trying to not take any medications because this is all in the mind.
