Hello!
I started Cipralex about 4 months ago for my anxiety and panic attacks... The attacks started in my second year of college and have gotten worse for the past 2 years! The first 3 weeks on cipralex were BRUTAL! Worse anxiety, tired all the time, nausea and inability to sleep! It got much better as time went on, and after a month or so on the pills, I didn't have any panic attacks!

Recently, I found out that I failed some classes at school and wont be able to graduate as planned, and the panic attacks have come back! (Even though I'm still taking Cipralex)
So I upped my dose from 5mg to 10mg... The panic attacks have lessened, but now I am feeling tired and depressed all day and experiencing restless and jittery legs all night!

Anyone know what I'm experiencing or have any advice?
Thanks!

Hey Sam sorry about your results.... Things will get better on the new dose it will just take some time to settle !

10 mg is normally the recommended starting dose for anxiety etx..... In on 20 mg and I can this is a really good Anti Dep for anxiety!

Hang in there!

I would say so.... Like anything it just takes time... I'm 3 months into 20mg and I still have on and off days... It just goes with the territory I guess!
