STOPPING Lexapro after 3 days... HELPPP!!!

[shawty]

First night I took the 5mg I woke up completely nauseous, headache and extreme body aches. Night 2 I woke up with the same body aches and headache. Now today after 4 hours of sleep I woke up with another extreme headache nauseous shakeiness imcreased anxiety (which by the way I have severe panic attack and agoraphobia, dont need increased I already have enough EVERYDAY!) Just an overall worse feeling. Called my dr. And she told me to stop taking it. Could SSRI's just not be for me (Paxil did the same thing)??? What else treats severe anxiety and agoraphobia? ?? I have my kolonpin could I just take 1mg at night and since it last longer than xanax would I hold me throughout the day?? Anyone ever just took kolonpin and it worked? I know its addicting but I need some relief ive been a nut case for 2 years!!!!! Cant take it anymore.

Klonopin should help a tonne, yeah. You know the addicting stuff, so I won't go on about that :)

I don't know if you're tempted to try one more SSRI? They usually say try 3.

You could always move to a different class of drug. Effexor maybe?

Just because one class lights you up, doesn't mean another will. At one time I couldn't tolerate SSRIs at all. I had a lot of luck when I tried my first drug from another drug class.

Feel better soon shawts :)
