[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 20982, member: 1550"] I have a laundry list diagnosis with panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder on that list, and I'm sure that's correct. My panic disorder was weird. It would go away for years, then kick up BIG TIME when I was under major stress. A few things to consider: 1/ Try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy--much different than conventinal therapy and, in my opinion, much more effective. Teaches you a new way of thinking and really helped me. Was the only therapy that ever helped me. 2/ The medications. Lexapro may not be the medication for you. Zoloft made me ten times worse as did Prozac. MUCH worse. Nervous, nightmares, shaking, physical symptoms, panic disorder through the roof. 3/ Give up any caffeine for now. Caffeine was a major trigger for me, and, although it may not be for you, try a soothing, healthy diet. My medications eradicated my panic attacks. However, I haven't had a major upheaval since I started them a long time ago either. I wish you luck. If you decide to go into the hospital, it's not the end of the world. I've been hospitalized and all three times I came away with good feelings about having been there. Take care [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
