I’ve taken Lexrapro 10mg for years. During times of increased anxiety, my doctor would increase it to 15mg. After so long at 15, I felt slightly numb. So, my opinion is that it has the potential to minimize panic. Did your doctor increase it from 15-20 or did you do it in hopes of relief?

Of course, anything I say is my own opinion and not medical advice, however, rather than increase to 20, I would supplement with liquid Benadryl and see if that takes the edge off and gives you a break. Have you tried this before?

Benadryl can cause drowsiness, but I would give it a try - start with 5-7ml. It can cause drowsiness, so be cautious about that. If you have the opportunity to rest after taking it, I almost guarantee it will take the edge off.

Lexapro isn’t a sedative, it works differently to help with anxiety. I’m not saying it won’t help, as it’s different for each person. As stated above... Benadryl is great for helping to relax a bit, and something I took quite a bit to help me before getting on klonopin. The question is, what is causing your panic right now? What’s the core of it?

I am on Lexapro 10mg as well. I think it works for me since my sleep got better, I take it at night before going to sleep.
