Hmmm. Thanks for the input. I got some Lexapro from my rehab doc on Tuesday... took a full pill (10mg) and had another Attack! YIKES!!!! I was a mess, but at least I was in a safe place - Denny's, a restaraunt here in town.Stayed there most of the night, at least until the symtoms faded enough that I felt safe to go home.

I decided to cut the pillls in half, and take it at night - that way I could sleep through any side effects. After taking 1/2 pill (5mg) early Thur. morning (2am), I stayed online for a few more hours, then went to bed. Upon waking in the afternoon, I felt great! Thursday was a Very Good Day (haven't had very many of those lately). No side effects of Lexapro, and no anxiety symptoms. I didn't know it worked that fast.

All I know is that the fear of having another attack is almost as bad as the attack itself.
