Hi All. Found out about this forum through Google and thought that I join. I'm Jerome, 33yo. I've had anxiety since my teens but got my first full-blown panic attack last Feb 2012. I got better after a few months of escitalopram (Jovia), but it returned Aug 2013, up until now. I'm almost 3 weeks now on Lexapro (10mg) and weaning off Rivotril (0.5mg every other night). I started feeling better after taking Rivotril back in Sept.2013 (1mg/day), but my doc says I have to taper off of it since it's habit-forming. Now I'm getting anxious again because of the taper. I'm back to dizziness, unsteadiness, headaches, shortness of breath and FEAR. Lots of it. But I'm really optimistic about Lexapro and hoping that it does its job even without the Rivotril. It's also nice that I found this forum so I can share experiences and thoughts with other people like me.
