"due to my increasing anxiety and panic attacks i was prescribed lexapro 10mg. during the first few weeks i became very sensitive and would nearly cry over simple things like a customer saying &quot;please don&#039;t put this item in the bag with that item...&quot;. i had very high blood pressure, bad headaches, rapid heart beat, i would feel weak and my body would start shaking (especially my hands). one time i even thought i was having a minor heart attack. i decided to ween off lexapro and change medication."
