In reply to Do all SSRI's cause panic and anxiety?, posted by Tiina on June 16, 2003, at 11:38:12
> Hello everyone!
> I'm wondering if all SSRI's cause panic and anxiety cause I didn't have that kind of side-effects from Prozac or Paxil (at least I think I didn't). I did have to go to the hospital shortly after I started Paxil but I think it was just a general worsening of my illness cause I was already feeling TERRIBLE when I was put on Paxil. Anyway I've been reading about people's experiences with Zoloft, Paxil and Lexapro and people seem to get severe agitation/panic from them. Is this maybe only for people who are sensitive to these drugs? I'm thinking about starting Lexapro while I'm on vacation in Florida (live in Finland) and I don't want any nasty surprises. I mean I know you never know how you'll feel on a drug but if it's a common thing with Lexapro I might not wanna start it while on vacation. I hope I will get some answers!
> TiinaI agree with everyone else I wouldn't want to start a new one either. My wife started to take Lexpro just prior to going on a short vacation and the only side effect she has had is being tired. She has been taking SSRI's for years and has very few side effects. She is a lucky one. She takes it for depression. I take Lex. for anxiety and I had side effects that I would not chance while on vacation. Have a good time! Take care. Tim
