To those of you who've seen me around before: HI AGAIN!!! and I really hope I haven't offended anyone by my long absence. The end of the school year always gets really nutty for me, and I am something of a fairweather forum-goer.

Anyway.... yes, this does have to do with anxiety, and I am absolutely freaked out. I started taking 10mg Lexapro for my anxiety a couple of weeks ago along with my regular 150mg Welbutrin. The first sign that something was a touch off was that my lows became lower, though shorter in duration, and my highs higher. I was experiencing symptoms of mild panic more frequently, if for shorter periods, and those symptoms/feelings solidified into something that was easily recognizable, not the more nebulous hodge-podge of symptoms I'd felt before.

And here's where it gets really scary. Last night I started feeling very off. At first I thought it was just cramps from my period, so I took some Ibuprofen and thought little of it. But my body started to feel almost like I had a fever: I couldn't stop moving my legs or rocking back and forth, and just felt generally bad, though I could master it for long periods in front of people. Eventually, though, I felt so off and weird that I had to excuse myself and just sat there while my muscles contracted extremely strongly all over my body, most notably in my hands, arms, legs, and jaw. Oddly, while it didn't feel out of my control, I couldn't really stop the convulsions--it was kind of like blinking in the sense that while you can hold off on it and control it, it must be done. This lasted for maybe ten to twenty minutes, I'm honestly not sure. But the same thing happened tonight for even longer. I also felt quite panicky, although not exactly panic-attack-ish.

Please help. If this happens every night... Lord. Also, feel free to move this topic if it's not in the right place. THANK YOU!!!
