Hi, Im new to the forum. Ive been on lexapro for about 6 months now and it has helped alot initially, i also take klonopin when i feel more stressed. but lately ive been more depressed, had a panic attack this morning, and have been experiencing worse ocd. I also have been forgetting things. Is this normal, has this happened to anyone else? 

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, feeling really down right now. worried i might have other problems, besides GAD and depression.

    Was on lexapro but it didn't help me. I now take xanax. It seems anxiety jus has its period when it jus attacks without warning. Im on the edge now fr last Monday n it seems not to be Waring off. I jus try to calm myself although its hard at times. Easy to say than do. Check with ur gp n go get some CBT. Mine will start Wednesday. All the best. Hope we get well soon i know how u feel.

      thank you for replying. it does seem that there are just ups and downs. some weeks good some bad. Do you get CBT? does it help? is it any different from regualr therapy? I hope we get better also, its hard fighting soemthing you cant even see

      CBT does help but its up to us to think positive. I believe there is a speciality into doing it so maybe a regular therapy does not offer it. Its jus up to us to keep positive n knock anxiety out. I'm praying for everyone with this disorder cause its jus bad
