As far as medication goes I was on Lexapro for about 4 years and in the beginnig it worked wonderfully. I felt so much better and so much more "NORMAL". I actually stayed on it during my pregnancy and I felt great for the most part. After I had my daughter I would say about maybe 3 months I started to have panic attacks again. So I went to my doctor and he upped my lexapro to 20 mg and I didn't feel any better. So then I started to go a psychiatrist and she honestly did not help me at all. She put me on effexor and again no real difference. So I weened myself off that. Then it started to get really bad and I went back to my GP and asked him about prozac so I went on that I started with 20 mg then went up to 40 and now I am on my way back off of it because I don't feel any better. My feeling is that if I am not getting any relief then why take a medicine that is not helping!!! I have had xanax all along and I take that only of it gets really bad. Which honestly feels like everyday I just started to go to these group meetings called Recovery Inc. and the first couple of times really seemed to help me. Its kind of interesting it is for all kinds of mental health issues anything from panic attacks, anxiety,depression and the list goes on. If anyone is interested they have a website and they have meetings all over the country. It's www.recoveryinc.org. So anyways I try to go to these at least once a week and I feel good after but then I feel like I slump back into all my symptoms. Does anyone else get these when they drive and what do you do? I can't stand to not be able to take my daughter anywhere and I just want to be normal!!!!!!! Thanks for everyones input I really appreciate it and if anyone else has advice please help. Thanks so much!!
