> > 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.

> Happy holidays all. I too thought my kids were going to die, that I might have cancer and I was looking at the worst case senario possible in every situation. Lex (10mg) helped me sooo much. I am going on week 9 and those thoughts have subsided. I enjoy life instead of obsessing about death. All side effects have subsided although I don't sleep well without trazadone. Have a peaceful and happy holiday.
