i still get a little panicky even on the meds, but they panic is very muffledfor the most part. i compare it to getting your teeth drilled with novicaine, you know its supposed to hurt because the dentist is drilling you but you dont feel it because of the novicaine. i get that way with panic i get some of the physical symptoms but they are very weak and i am able to control the racing thoughts alot better. sometime i get a pretty good panic attack almost full blown, but i definately deal with it alot better on the meds. i dont like the fact that i have the panic but it shows me that the meds havent made me completely numb to everything, which is a concern to me. i hope that helps you out, but i think that i use the meds as another tool, just like i do the exposure work and the thought work and everything else. its a constant battle and sometime just one tool doesnt work you need a combination of a few.

Hi everyone~
I have been taking lexapro for about a month and a half. I take 10 mg a day. Sometimes, I still feel a little anxious, but only since I am still introducing myself into uncomfortable situations in public since my last panic attack in february.
Last weekend was my first time going to the movies since my last panic attack and I was fine until the movie was over and the aisles were crowded with people exiting the movie. As soon as I got into my car with my boyfriend and we started talking, I forgot my panic and I was fine. It seemed more of a "mind over matter" situation. Thats how I feel about alot of my situations...that once my mind is not focused on my panic that I forget about it.
I went to my therapist this past thursday and he suggested that i take 15mg of my meds now since i was panicy in the thearter. he said i dont have to, but it's a suggestion. I am not happy about being on the meds I am on right now to begin with, but i know i have to take them to get better. I just feel that i have been doing so much better and having to take a larger dose of the meds makes me feel like i am taking a step back in all my progress.
My question is, when you are on an anti depressant, like i am, are you not supposed to feel panicky or anxious at all? Because if thats the case, then i know i should take the 15 mg because i do feel panicky sometimes. I was just wondering why my doc told me to up my dosage becasuse i got panicky in the movies...I still am getting used to various different situations with being in public and going to the movies was a big step for me aand i think i did very well.
My doctor is great and i know that i should listen to him, but i just wanted to see if anyone else still got a little panicky on meds or if i should be completely fine by now...thanks...
