I haven't tried Lexapro. How are the side effects?

I hesitate to take anything because I was addicted to Klonopin (a benzo) that took me seven months to get off. It was a tough withdrawal. I did have a Klonopin tablet with me on my recent trip to the mountains to take just in case, but I ended up not taking it. It's a good idea, tho, to take as needed (as long as I don't end up getting hooked again.)

I've also been on Elavyl for anxiety, IBS and to help me sleep. I'm weaning off of that now too becasue it gives me tachycardia. I was on Prozac, which gave me panic disorder. Celexa made me a zombie. As you can see, I'm leery of meds for anxiety. But then again, anxiety does a terrible number on the body. So, I'm trying to remain open-minded.
