We put it back down to 10mg, and then a couple weeks later it really started to kick in.
But with the Lexapro I remember vividly that first week I just felt real serious about everything, not exactly depressed or angry, more like this intense feeling of seriousness, its hard to describe, but I just didn't feel like joking around or having small talk with people.
Once it kicked in I wasn't running around naked and laughing like some manic lunatic, I really just felt "normal" on it which was my favorite part about Lex.
It really made me feel like what I'd always wished I feel like, just normal, nothing more and nothing less.
And many doctors tell you 2-4 weeks but in the clinic the women told me Lex can take up to 8 weeks before you notice ANYTHING. I must have asked about 5 times to get off in those first 8 weeks but staying on Lex was one of the best decisions I ever made.
And although Clonodine inhibits the release of adrenaline, its not a beta blocker. I'm sure you'll feel a lot less anxious with it, I just cant tell you for sure it'll stop the panic attacks. W/e the case I'd say what your on now is an EXCELLENT starting point for relief and a overall richer life.
Just be sure to have plenty of patience with the Lex, I REALLY hope it does for you what it did for me.
