Starting Dec 3rd for the first time in my life (32yrs old) I had a severe very scary panic, the following week I had 2 more. I went to my GP and she gave me 5mg lexapro which I Started on Saturday the 11th. On Friday 10th - Sunday 12th I was in a full blown panic attack the entire three days. Racing heart, feeling of doom, cold shivers it was terrifying. My mom ended up taking me to an Mental Health InPatient clinic. Where I started 10mg of Lexapro and 1mg Lorazepam on Monday 13th So I am on day 7 of Lexapro and I can go 12-36hrs without needing a Lorazepam. I cannot wait to get off the Lorazepam, I am so concerned of addiction and I hate that I feel “normal” because I am on a sedative.

I just pray I am lucky one who feels better at day 10-14. I feel shell shocked at how much my life has changed.
