Hi all,

As some of you may know, I recently started a thread called "lexapro - VERY itchy skin". Well, long story short, I was hospitalised later that night. Allergic reaction.

So now I've been switched to Lustral - which to me is a little heartbreaking, as the Lexapro just after a week, was starting to kick in. I had been panic attack free - and following my hospital visit, they're starting again. I'm taking prescribed Diazepam to calm them down.

As much as I know I shouldn't have, I read the leaflet - while it does mention Social anxiety (which I do not suffer from), it did not mention general anxiety (which I do suffer from - panic attacks, constant fear of death). How effective is Lustral? Is it as good as Lexapro, will it have the same effects in stopping my panic attacks?
