Just recently I quit smoking and drinking. Three months after, I began experiencing episodes of severe depression and panic. These attacks last about 4 days and I can't do ANYTHING when they happen. I am seeing a therapist and a psychiatist. I have been prescribed Lexapro but haven't felt much change. I've been on it for three weeks and am coming off of one of the biggest attacks I have had yet. My doctor said this medication can bring out bipolar2 in some cases and to watch for signs. I have been mostly depressed with a moment or two of feeling high.(Not great but like things will stablize) only to end up back in the pit. Does anyone have any experience with this with or without associations to quitting smoking and/or drinking? Thanks
