Hi all
A little over a year ago I started having bad anxiety and panic attacks. My theory is that it's from using lots of E that year among other drugs. Last January my doctor gave me Lexapro to help with the anxiety but on day 3 I was trembling, puking, getting dizzy and having the worst panic attacks. I thought I had serotonin syndrome so I stopped taking it.
So my question is was it possible that Lexapro gave me that reaction because I had used lots of MDMA in the months prior? I was also taking 5htp regularly and stopped one week before starting Lexapro. Perhaps that could've contributed
I ask this many months later because my anxiety and panic attacks are coming back. I felt I was almost fully recovered until yesterday when I had my first panic attack in almost 8 months. I feel hopeless and sometimes suicidal because I can't live a normal life due to this anxiety. But I'm trying to be strong and I'm considering taking a SSRI again. Even though I wish I could fight this battle without medication.
