So today woke up after taking the 2.5 mg of lex last night and had HEINOUS anxiety - much more than usual and usually on saturdays i have ZERO anxiety. had to take 1/2 a .25 xan. so feel a bit better b/c of that - though could not answer the phone - feel like i cant talk to anyone. i also feel like i am on cold medicine and unrested (even though i slept in / til 8:30 - but wasnt really sleeping) the disconcerting part is the increased anxiety. i even had tightness in chest like i couldnt breathe while i was lying in bed. but that stopped. is this a start up SE that will go away??? i just dont see how i can go through start up SEs like this and LIVE my life and deal w. my kids and their school - teachers - people and day to day stuff. also been reading a lot of reports (know i shouldnt) the weight gain stuff - again- scares me - found some articles about how studies show SSRI's change your RMR (resting metabolic rate)-thus slowing your metab. ughhhh. and i just clearly do not need and want increased panic - just hard to take smthg that initially makes anxiety much worse w. hope that it will eventually make it better. so IS this a SE? should i continue on w/ it? TIA
