I'm so glad to have found this site - it helps to know I'm not alone in this.
I've suffered from untreated GAD for most of 30years (I'm 42).
Recently lost my father in my arms just over 2months ago and also had to deal with my mothers' altzheimers for a while now - I started having major panic attacks shortly thereafter and had to quit my job.
Currently I'm on escitalopram for about month and a half - had to up my dose from 15mg to 20mg about 5days ago and all the side effects came back the last 3days have been absolutely horrific.
Only people who have been through this will understand - I hope to find some support from all you lovely brave people who have to deal/have dealt with similar.
ps. please excuse me ,english is not my 1st language.
