Hello Dr. I Have Recently Been Experiencing Some Severe Anxiety
Hello Dr.
I have recently been experiencing some severe anxiety symptoms consistent with Agoraphobia. I had a panic attack last year during a vacation trip and am going on another trip in a couple weeks and am feeling very anxious about it. I was on Zoloft for 13 days but it doesn't seem to be helping so my Dr. switched to Lexapro. It took me a long time to adjust to the Zoloft and I am concerned I will experience the same side effects with this new medication. Is there a risk of switching medications like this? I really just want my anxiety symptoms to go away before my vacation next week.
thank you
