Hey folks, I hope everybody is doing well! i just started feeling a bit like myself this afternoon after 2 days of bad anxiety... I've had a bunch of success on 20mg of lexipro in the past. but just recently, i keep feeling off. and last Sunday and this morning, i had BAD panic attacks out of nowhere.

Im kinda looking for advice here... i was on 15 of lex for about half a year, before going back up to 20 when my panic attacks hit again, and I've been at 20 for 5 weeks. I dont really wanna go up in dose because im afraid of it zombifying me. so im considering swapping SSRI.. My doctor is open to the idea, and even suggested it, but i've got a real fear of how tumulus that could be.

Any advice here? should i give just that 5mg extra even _more_ time? or after a decade on lexipro, maybe ive simply built up too much of a tolerance.
