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? Do you think it's safe to take ativan? I just don't want to feel worse. I just want to sleep.

    Dont always look to pills to help, consider therapy, its much safer and more effective in many cases

      Trust me, that's one big reason why I don't want to take it, but I just want to sleep.
