"hey everyone! i am going to try and make my story short. i am 26 years old and did not know what anxiety or an anxiety attack was until i turned 25.  i was driving to lunch one day and for no reason at all it hit me. i felt as if i wasn&#039;t in control of my own body. i felt like i was going to pass out at the wheel, my heart began to race and my arms and legs went numb. i drove myself straight to the er. the doc told me it was an anxiety attack. after that first attack i could not leave my house for two weeks in fear that i would pass out or lose control. i was then put on lexapro, the first two weeks i felt the side affects..after that a true blessing!! no anxiety or attacks in 2 weeks! i feel like me again!"
