A few months ago I had what I’m about 90% sure was an anxiety attack out of absolutely NO WHERE…Felt like I was having a heart attack. I couldn’t eat, focus, anything, just paralized, trembling, chest pains, felt like I was going to “lose it” for lack of a better term. Went out to my car, laid down there for about 45 minutes, felt ok enough to drive and drove home. By the time I got home I felt fine.

After that I felt fine again for a few weeks until I had another one, same situation just sitting in the office working but this time the issues never went away. It’s been months and EVERY DAY I feel like I’m on the verge of having another one. As a result mild agoraphobia is present (I dread meetings etc) and I’ve noticed a severe problem with motion sickness/stomach sensitivity to movement etc now that I didn’t have before (though I’ve never been fond of crazy roller coasters and/or heights, but it’s MUCH worse now – For instance, I couldn’t handle the space needle restaraunt in Seattle…made it to the table for about 5 minutes then had to go back down).

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
