I have been having anxiety since i had surgery two weeks ago for a tubal ligation. Everything went fine, except now i wake up every morning with anxiety. I am taking prozac and the doctor wants to switch me to lexapro. I took the first lexapro yesterday and had anxiety/panic all day. my dad had to come over and help me with my kids i was so scared and couldnt calm down. I am afraid to take the lexapro today and i think i should stick to the prozac. has anyone else made this switch? has anyone else ever heard of a link between general ansethesia and anxiety? How do you make it through the work day?? My boss is not understanding and I cant show how im feelling. please respond....

Hi,
I broke my ankle 14 weeks ago and the anxiety/depression came on with a vengence especially last week. Be honest with your friends/boss about how you feel. It is embarassing at first, but just get it out of your system. It helps. Trust me.
Feel free to PM me.

Hi

I am afraid I can't help you but there is a section on medication on the forum which might help.
