For Anxiety "I started taking Lexapro 10 mg 35 days ago and increased it to 20 mg 21 days ago and hoped that it would have helped more than it did. I was still experiencing anxiety, tension, and clenching my jaw at work, home, and in my sleep, but Lorazepam sublingual 0.5 mg helped greatly. I was more relaxed at work, calmer in high-pressure situations. No clenching. Wasn't overly drowsy, just had a few yawns here and there. I could focus. But because they were sublingual, they are short-acting. Four hours later, jaw clenching and tension, my hands were back to feeling shaky. Took another one. The seven pills the walk-in doctor gave me didn't last long as a result. I have been waiting to see my GP. Appointment next week, but I saw the walk-in doctor again today and we determined that the regular (non-sublingual) would be a better option since it's longer-acting. Still at 0.5 mg, no increase, and I don't want an increase. If this is something that I take regularly with my escitalopram, I want the lowest possible dose."

For Anxiety "Started this almost a month ago. GAD, PTSD. I was on Xanax for 9 years, 1 mg daily, it worked amazingly. Dr. said I had to get off, so I did. Wasn’t bad getting off. Took Lexapro and had no bad withdrawals. Dr. then put me on this Ativan, 0.5 a day. Good for anxiety, but I’m so tired all day long. I could sit and fall asleep. When it comes to nighttime, I take half Ambien to help me fall asleep because by then Ativan wears off."

For Anxiety "I just barely started having anxiety attacks, and I am 18. Almost 19. I went to the urgent care, and they gave me this prescription. At first, I took a half of one, it made me feel very weird, but I have been taking lower than a half. It's been calming me down, been really tired though, and been vomiting and going to the bathroom a lot. I don't know if that's good or not. It's harder for me to sleep at night."

For Anxiety "I got anxiety real bad one time and had to go to the hospital. When I took this, it took my anxiety away in about 10 to 15 minutes, but it made me tired, and I woke up later than usual the next day."
