[QUOTE="tareload, post: 234330"] Hey Fortunate, thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot to me. If there were black belts given out out for counseling I should have got one by now. Clocked many years in counseling and then finally had to get into a 3 month outpatient CBT/DBT boot camp for depression years ago. It helped but that was really not comparable to the issue I am having with anxiety and panic right now. It was stopping me from working out which is a double whammy and cruel twist. Depression I learned how to live with. This new stuff is hard-core. It isn't something I feel I can think my way out of. Feels chemical and hard wired if you can understand that. Like a wire got messed up. So I dropped off the clonazepam and added in the lexapro at 10 mg each day for last two days. I told myself I will use a [URL='https://www.certara.com/knowledge-base/understanding-steady-state-pharmacokinetics/']loading dose [/URL]to get to the 5 mg/day steady state faster. Haha. So [USER=44064]@FunkOdyssey[/USER] Was Correct the SSRI gives me a slight buzz and I have never dropped X but I can see how it must feel comparable based on watching other people. My sig other really noticed a difference. Very different feeling in gym where even if I want to freak out I can't. Maybe something is working or placebo but so far I will take it. Bless all you guys for your feedback. If this stuff works I am going to be really grateful. And if it doesn't I am still grateful for such a great group of humans on here trying to help their fellow human. [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17375980/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
