Lexapro

[Yolie1313]

I used to take zoloft 2mg. once a day along with clonazepam 1 mg. up to 3 x a day.  My tachycardia/panic disorder continued to get worse with heart rate up to 120-130 just by taking out the trash or doing mild housework.

So my doc put me on lexapro 10 mg. to take instead of zoloft.  She said I should keep taking the clonazepam as needed.

Has anyone had any experience with lexapro 10 mg.   Thankyou.

You say you were taking Zoloft at 2Mgs a day? I didn't even know Zoloft came in such a low dosage. I used to take Zoloft at 200Mgs a day. Lowest dosage is 50mgs a day and even that dosage is too low for most people.

Lexapro is an SSRI like Zoloft, Prozac, etc.  Sometimes it can be a little trial and error before one finds the right medication in my experience.  They all effect us in certain ways.  With this, are you seeing a counselor?  I believe the most important step you can take is to seek counseling and learn about your anxiety.  Knowledge is power in confronting this...keep us posted!
