Chinese Herbs Function

I have severe panic attacks, generalized anxiety. Does anyone take Lexapro for this and does it help? How long?

I have tried zoloft and paxil with extreme negative side effects including worsened anxiety, I’ve also been trying alternative therapies such as acupuncture and chinese herbs. They helped for a while but the attacks are back with a vengeance. Daily functioning has become hard. I’m curious about Lexapro and if anyone with the same probs may have benefited from it. Also, how long did it take to notice a difference? Please help Thanks

I am diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. I tried taking Lexapro, however it is an anti-anxiety/depression medication. The other two you have taken are both anti-depressants which would cause extreme side effects.

There are three highly anxiety medications that I recommend. They are all addictive and but for some they work at a low dose. I started with Klonopin but reached the max. I then took Xanax and was tolerating it well however started having chest pains and other aches(they would go away of course, but hated it). I changed to Valium you can take up to 60 mg a day but I find 10mg a day in the morning has gotten rid of my aches n pains in different places everyday and also I have not had an attack since I started taking it. That was 6 months ago.
