panic attacks are increasing daily on new meds

[Wilburis]

Hi

Ive been on escitralopram 10mg for 11 days now and since day 6 have been having panic attacks, which are getting more frequent.

JUst wondered, is this normal?

Will they stop?

Thanks = Liz xx

It can be 2-3 weeks before you settle down.

This is why I can't tolerate meds lol - I can't stand the side effects

Diet and phsyical exercise and definitely the breathing exercises and relaxation.

You have to do it every day though and not just a one-off.
