I've benn suffering from GAD for a few years but my panic has gotten much worse in the last 10 months or so. I started CBT a few months ago and it does seem to be helping. However I feel like ity might be time to start the Lexapro that my GP had suggested a while back. I do take .25mg of Xanax when I'm having anxiety or a panic attack that I feel is getting out ofbanff our that I can't seem to control. I'm nervous about taking the Lexapro because taking medicine in general makes me nervous. I read up on the possible side effects and of course paid super attention to the horrible ones that happen too 1 in 10000000000 people. Lol Any thoughts on this medicine? I just want to be able to be my old self again. I hate the constant worrying that I do and I just want to enjoy a normal life again. I know that I will have to continue with my CBT but I'm just thinking the Lexapro might give me a little boost in my process of beating this anxiety/panic issue.
