I took Lexapro for 4 years because of anxiety and agoraphobiaAgoraphobia Panic disorder with agoraphobia.
It helped to a point with the anxiety, but did nothing for the agoraphobiaAgoraphobia Panic disorder with agoraphobia.
I decided to come off it (gained weight, tired).
I still have the anxiety and agoraphobia.
I take xanax (mildest dose) on occasion when I really am in a panicky state of mind.
I also exercise, and sometimes thats helps with the anxiety.
I've had agoraphobia most of my life and it's difficult to cope.
I am not housebound, but do have my limitations outside.
Hope this helps,
Iwona
