I recently (one month ago) started on 5mg of lexapro. My panic attacks were reduced but I was still constanly anxious. I couldn't see my usual doctor so I saw her husband who is also a doctor and he said I needed to REDUCE my dosage. I was having nausea and feeling very spaced out but I thought I needed to increase it as I was still very anxious. He wants me to start taking 2mg and increase in a week or two to 3mg.
Im very worried about only taking 2mg. Firstly, I don't want my anxiety to get worse because im taking less medication and also because I've read about the very nasty side effects for when you go off the pills all together.
Has anyone else reduced their dosage like this? What has happened? I really appreciate any replies as its freaking me out a bit. :unsure:
Thanks guys
