I just started taking Lexapro and Xanax about 2 weeks ago. I've lost weight (woo hoo!), which I hear is a side effect of Lexapro, and it makes me tired after I take it. I only take the Xanax when I feel like I need it. I feel like I'm more calm now. I used to startle very easily and I ALWAYS thought there was something wrong with me. I'm just now begining to think that maybe this anxiety really is causing all of these physical symptoms, and I'm really not dying. But I'm not quite there yet. Just this morning I had the urge to go to the ER. It's hard to live like this. Especially when family and friends cannot relate, or just think I'm plain crazy.

> you are SO NOT alone. my anxiety/panic/ocd started about 15 yrs ago, and i've had ups and downs, good and bad days...but at least its recognized as something rather than thinking you were the only one that felt like this, and the only one that was going crazy.
> are you on any meds. at this point?
