Hi EM,
Things might calm down again in a week or so after your body is through adjusting to the 20 mgs of Lexapro.
In the meantime, do something that relaxes you. A cup of camomile tea can sometimes help me calm down a little bit. Or you could try taking .5 mgs of Xanax. (Of course, call your doc before you increase.)
We've all been there EM, and it's not fun. I really wish I could tell you something that would make all the panic and anxiety vanish (I'd be rich if I could do that!) but I can't. All I can do is reassure you that it is going to get better.
So, take a deep breath and just repeat to yourself that things are going to be fine. You'll get through this, and when it's over you will be a stronger, healthier person.
K.
