I just started taking 10mgs of Lexapro. I started the first day in the evening, but by 3am I was having terrible buzzing in the body and Heart palapitations, so I elected to wait a full day then take it during the day for the next round. By noon I was in the midst of a full blown panic attack, my body was buzzing, my heart was freaking out and I almost passed out! The doctor also prescribed me xanax, so I took 1/2 tab at that point and felt somewhat better. I still had trouble sleeping, and by this morning I felt much better but I decided to go ahead and take my dose again. Here I am, same troubles and once again I took a Xanax to better the symptoms. Is the Lexapro really causing these problems and will it stop? I have never had anxiety attacks like these before and I'm just so angry that this medication is causing so many more problems. Any advice would be so helpful!
