> Hi all, I am new to this board. I have recently been prescribed Lexapro - on my 6th day now.

Ever since this started I began almost obsessing about my health, thinking I haved a brain tumor, etc..... I am constantly reading about symptoms, etc and waiting for new symptoms to pop up - it reallly interferes w/ daily life.

Oh my gosh you sound just like me! I was not feeling light headed, I was feeling nervous all the time. I constantly worried about symptoms I was having. I've imagined cancer of just about every body organ, lupus, heart problems, you name it I've imagined thatI've had it. I would spend hours looking through medical books, internet searching, etc. Lex has helped tremendously with this and I feel like a new person. Less anxious, less irritated by life's challenges and much happier. I still have some bad days but nothing like before. I have been on lex for about 2 months! Keep with it and I hope you feel better soon. Please keep me posted because it is so comforting to chat with someone else who has felt like me.
