- I've noticed I'm more prone to panic attacks when I haven't had much sleep. Last night I worked until close and had to wake up the next morning to open. My alarm was set for 5:30 this morning and I'd only had 5 1/2 hours of sleep. When I got out of...

- I feel like I'm losing hope. I've had GAD for as long as I can remember but it always came and went. For the past year, however, its been constant. Countless doctors visits, panic attacks, fears upon fears, and a bad reaction to an SSRI. I feel like...
- Awhile ago I started a discussion asking for people's experiences with Lexapro because my doctor had given me a 5 mg sample pack. I finally worked up the courage to give it a try after a particularly calming session with my therapist who reassured...
