Is anyone out there on an SSRI medication for panic/anxiety? If so, does it help? Which one do you take, does it help you, how long were you on it before you noticed a difference and did you or do you have any strange side effects? I am very afraid to try these medications because I read about the side effects and it scares me. But.... I have been battling panic/anxiety disorder for over 3 months now by seeing a psychologist and taking xanax and I still do not feel better. I am still afraid all of the time and I have hypochondrial symptoms that are basically keeping me from living a normal life. The psychologist keeps tellimg me that the SSRI's will help me but when I tried one (Lexapro), I felt really weird and it scared me so I quit taking it after only one day. Can anyone share any positivie experiences about SSRI's? Please help!!!! I want to be normal again and I don't want to be afraid anymore!!!!
