Lexapro And Panic Attacks

Hello All,

I was taking Lexapro for 3 days and on the third day, I was experiencing problems simular to a panic attack. I have not taken the medicine in 3-4 weeks but I am still having panic attack when I take vitamins. My family doctor has said that Lexapro is out of my system after a few days.

Did I just rewire my brain to panic attack after feeling different from vitamins and other OTC meds?

Hello, MonkeyBoy123! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.

No, it is very doubtful that just 3 days of Lexapro would have any type of permanent effect. According to the FDA, its normal side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. It is classified as an SSRI antidepressant.

It is possible that you're just suffering from anxiety and panic attacks.

Have you tried any other medications to treat it?

Have you tried consulting a psychiatrist?
