I had mild insomnia but its passed. What i'm trying to say is that, every one reacts differently to these meds. if the side effects doesnt wind down by the end of 2nd week, i suggest, exploring other ssri's.
And about benzo's, you're docs exaggerating. They are addictive but not if taken short term. They can be very helpful if taken wisely.

Wow 17 days! im sorry that must have been torture for you! im lad you have found something that works for you
I agree about the benzos, i think starting anti psychotics would be much more addictive and stressful as i have to get used to them as well as the Lexapro and im struggling enough with them, and she said it will only be for 2 weeks so im not going to get addicted to them in such a short time but she has refused to give them to me so i guess i have to just suck it up and try to get through this, she recommended meditation and exercise, im sure that will help with my dizzy spells and extreme panic lol
Thanks for your advise
