I’ve had 4 and half years of this trying different meds changing doses I’m sick of it but we’ve got to keep going  this is the last time I’m messing around with doses and meds if I can’t get it right this time I’m going to give it a try without meds and go the natural way like changing diet 5HTP fish oils b6 vitamins and lots more exercise 

Good luck 😀

    Don... I know how u feel.. I've had GAD and Panic sense I was 12 and I'm 63 years young now and starting this journey once again.. I'm on 10 mg. of Lexapro and I've read lots of blogging on pros and cons of Lexapro.. Over all it's a good medicine if it works with your body DNA.. But if it does not then it's not for u.. Doesn't mean it's a bad medicine it's just not for you.. I'm with u when u say if this doesn't work .. I'm trying the hostiopathic route once I get off of Lexapro... But with that said I had a DNA test ran and it said Lexapro would work well with my DNA... So we will see...Praying your day goes well.. Stay in touch about your journey... Good Luck and I truly mean that.. I do not have a person I know that I would wish this upon..aniexty and panic takes soo very much away from your quality of life.. We just let to much effect us..so hope you have a special person to lean on durning these hard times.. My husband of 48 years has been my life saver.. He may not understand to what degree I hurt and feel but he has compassion and that's what we all need is to b accepted durning our down days and our up days.. Again Don take care of YOU... Stay in touch..😊
