> Yes! It is still working for me full force, and I did end up deciding to raise the dose to 30mg this past Tuesday. It's working out wonderfully for me. I'm feeling better every day, and still NO side effects. I want to kiss the feet of the wo/man who developed this wonderful drug. I've mentioned before that I've tried Celexa and there's no comparison, for me.

> I just went back on Atkins a few days ago, and the first two days are hard, as you're using up your glucose stores, but now I feel pretty much ecstatic! I found a great job doing what I love (recording engineer for local bands), which is phenomenal considering I'm an agoraphobe. But at 20 years old, I suppose this is how I *should* feel. And I'm thankful that I finally do. Next stop is to switch from Tranxene-SD to Xanax XR when it's released. Will keep you updated, as always. :-)Congrats on the success so far with the Lexapro! That is great. It's always nice to hear of successful SP treatments. Definitely keep us updated with the Xanax SR!
Is Celexa the only other med you've tried in the past? I'm getting ready to try Zoloft for my SP and am keeping my fingers crossed that it'll work out. Klonopin/Provigil works great for me, but I'm looking for more of a daily "baseline" treatment. Perhaps I'll give Lexapro a try if the Z is a bust!
Best of luck,
Rocket
