L.I.
I have been dealing with anxiety problems too for the last year. My regular doc had me on 10mg of Lexapro and some Xanex for when I was really anxious. This didn't seem to be helping enough and I was have trouble sleeping at night too - lots of nightmares and waking in the night. My doctor sent me to a Psychiatrist to help get me on the right dosages of medication and it has really helped. He gradually raised me to 30mg of the Lexapro - he said the low dosages help at first, especially for depression, but to really help the anxiety you need a higher dosage. He also put me on Restoril, which you take at night to help sleep. He said it helps you sleep at night which in turn helps with the anxiety because you are getting a good night sleep. It has really really helped. I would recommend this doctor - he is very good. Dr Barry Fenton. His phone is ###-###-#### and address is 3710 Rawlins, Dallas, TX 75219. I also started exercising - going to the gym and that has really helped too. I hope this helps! I know how you feel - its not easy!
