> I would like to hear from people who had success with Lexapro for anxiety and panic attacks. Also tell me how long it took to feel better. Thanks!

Hi,
I've been on Lex for 6 or so weeks now and can report:
- intensity of anxiety overall down about 30-40%
- time spent not anxious up 20%
- insight into causal issues improved
- general demeanour&outlook less desperate

I started to feel differences (not necessarily better) after 3-4 days. I also experienced a marked increase in depression during the first two weeks. My T had never heard of this but I have read others experience it too. She has had a number of people responding positively within a week and some others taking 2 months. As always, YMMV.

I have Derealization (see dpselfhelp.com) and so may not be your archetypal user of Lex but I hope this info is of use.

Pete
