I tried it but it didn't work for me because of side effects....I am hyper-sensitive to drugs and I just don't like taking them....but I think it is a very sucessful drug.....sometimes you have to see what works for you....I am using meditation, excercise and behavioral therapy which seems to be a good combo for me.......good luck!!

Lexapro did not work for me, it made me even more anxious. My dr. put me on Atarax which seems to be working nicely with my abilify.

Lexapro has helped to some extent. Although i was originally put on it for depression. Although I still have some difficulty in social situations when I am meeting new people etc.

I take lexapro 10mg and it doesnt help with the major panic attacks when i have them, but it helped to overall keep me from having the "big ones" they would be less than half of the panic as it used to be... for example, i used to have to make a run for the bathroom in resaurants because i felt like i was going to puke or have a bowel movement and now i get a sense of nausea but the panic attack usually doesnt onset itself. every once in a while i will get the big one and have to take my ativan but it really did help with minimizing the attacks. hope this helps!

p.s. it has not helped, however, with my wanting to answer the phone in my house. i will answer it, but some days i just wont, no matter who it is.
