"never had an anxiety attack after lexapro. i used to have very severe anxiety , and i had to go to hospital multiple times thinking i had heart attacks.  i had hot/cold flashes, chest pains, pounding heart, couldn&rsquo;t breathe, dizziness.... unfortunately i got off of it to take a pill for my tourette&rsquo;s syndrome a few weeks ago and my anxiety came back and the new pill made me sick , so now my anxiety is back badly and i had to go to hospital multiple times thinking i had heart issues again... just got put back on lexipro a week ago hasn&rsquo;t started working yet i hope it kicks in :( i also took buspar with lexapro before it is a second anxiety pill and u can take them together ."
