do you know the cause of this? have you experienced it yourself? it sends me into panic attacks when i have minimum anxiety. I personally was diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and first put on Zoloft to try and minimize the anxiety. However, while on Zoloft I had between 3-5 [...]
Did the medication help? Was it a noticeable difference? Do you feel like you aren’t the same person anymore (not in a good way)? For me the side effects of the medications were worse than the initial ailment. However, it might not be as bad for you. Discuss it thoroughly with your doctor

I’ve been on Lexapro for 6 months now. Side effects are really low if started at a low dose (5mg). The main side effect that bugs me is the weight gain. If I would’ve known that I would gain weight, I could’ve prevented it. I guess it just makes you hungrier since your life feels [...]
I suffer from them and all medication I’ve been on has only made the attacks worse or have had no effect at all. I’m in serious need for another solution to handle these attacks aside from going to the hospital and having them tranquilize me every other night. Go see a therapist. Learn yoga, tai [...]
