Hi, I am being treated for panic, anxiety and depression. It started about 6 months agao. I have been on zoloft and paxil with bad side effects. Before starting the lex, I could not be alone, leave the house, could not drive, had tremors, I was shaking, had trouble walking, wake up sweating, my stomach was a wreck, i lost 20 lbs. I cried everyday, I was suicidal etc. etc.etc. I am slowly getting back to my old self. The last 10 days I have had one crying spell and felt somewhat happy the rest of the time. The sweating has stopped, I stay home alone, I can drive, I can go into small stores, no more shaking and tremors but my teeth still chatter just a little bit. I am still a little wobbly which frustrates me. I have gained 10 lbs. and want only to gain another 5. My stomach does not hurt like it used to. But I do get like air in my stomach and it causes a lump in my throat which my panic side wants me to think I am having a heart attack. I take 7.5mg of lex and about .5mg xanax each day. I was up to 10mg of lex but was like a zombie. 7.5 made me tired but this has gone away. So I still have room to move up 10mg if need be. I guess I have come a long way but still have a way to go to be my old self again. EVERYONE TAKE CARE!!!!!!!!!
