so that was a week and a little ago. sleep is finally starting to improve (both quality and quantity) and today was the first day i didn't have muscle stiffness...wahoo!! i actually decided to go down to 7.5mg lexapro 2 days ago as i just have a hunch it might suit me better...
feeling really great today, totally feel back to my normal self. lets hope it continues!
so basically, in the space of 2 months I have gone from having panic attacks almost daily, to actually not having panic attacks at all. still have some mild -moderate anxiety but is so much more controlled. mood seems to be improving too. pretty good for 2 months! Lexapro has definitely helped - but I have also been doing once weekly counselling, daily meditation, increasing exercise and generally taking it easy and being nice to myself!
