I'll try and keep this short. In mid August, something triggered SEVERE PANIC ATTACKS & ROUND THE CLOCK ANXIETY/DEPRESSION. I sought help and started Lexapro 10 mgs. and seeing a counselor. (2 actually - 1 clergy/1 counselor)

At the end of September, the meds had helped but not enough. I sought out a psychiatrist whom I like. I've seen him 1 time. He maxed out the Lexapro. I also have Ativan as needed. This has controlled the anxiety pretty well, besides some breakthrough times. However I've been on it for a month and feel like CRAP! I have NO ENERGY, NO MOTIVATION, it takes me forever to do anything. I feel out of it, dragging, slow. I feel like a ZOMBIE! I have no passion for ANYTHING ANYMORE.

How long will this take to find the right combo. I do see the psych again next Monday. Will they be able to find a good combo for me???????????? Is it normal to take this long?
