> I experienced:

> Extreme lethargy - sleep 10 hrs+ a night and still need a multi hour nap
> Complete lack of focus/zero short term memory - a problem in grad school
> The first panic attacks I'd ever had in my life - anxiety had never been a big issue with me
> Unbelievable restlessness
> Extreme diarrhea
> The worst- incredibly violent intrusive thoughts aimed at me, my pets, my loved ones and everyone around. These bombarded me for literally every second of every day. I had never experienced anything like that in my life.

It seems Lexapro was not the right antideppressant for you. Rather thanmask symptoms with Klonopin or go to a lower dose of Lexapro, I would have taken you off it entirely and put you on a different antidepressant.
