Quit taking lexapro after 2 days, only took 2, 5mg doses. I feel like I\'m going crazy. I want to throw my phone. I can\'t calm down, everything is freaking me out, hearts not racing but I feel like I want to run miles. Anxious, tired but can\'t sleep, racing thoughts, Ringing ears, what's going on?

    That is normal for the first week. I went thru hell week as well. My anxiety hit the roof. I had so many weird side effects I thought I was gonna die. But around day 6 it started getting MUCH better. Im on day 23 now and nost the side effects are gone And the anxiety is mostly gone. I feel way better then I did before starting it.

      I'm relieved to see your response to Lockerby , it's given me hope, I am on day 5 and still going through absolute hell, I'm battling to get through a day at work.  I am really hoping this does get better........
