Hi, does this sound familiar? I am on 15mg lexapro since Nov after a breakdown caused by panic/anxiety, now panic is back again and doc said I need to take diazepam 5mg 3x a day for 2 weeks to get my brain and body out of the panic mode or to give my brain a holiday! I am so panicked about getting addicted I have been scared to take them. Doc says I won't get addicted as I don't have addictive personality (am 40) and told me that lexapro is best for panic and I must take the valium for relief. Any experience of this or advice for me please?
