Title: Esertia 10mg. for anxiety.
Post by: blondbeauty on February 21, 2007, 03:29:54 pm
For the last 6 days I have been suffering from anxiety again, not related to HIV. I can't stand my job anymore. I hate flying and doing 5 legs a day, eating in 15 minutes and waking at 4.24 is causing me extreme anxiety.
I went to the Dr. today to get a prescription for Lexatin 3mg (bromazepam) but he prescribed me a new medication called "Esertia" (escitalopram). The instruction leaflet is scary and most of it side effects are just the symptoms I am trying to "cure".
Have any of you tried this medication before?
It is very expensive compared to Lextain (Lexatin is 1.50 euros and Esertia 23,98 euros). I already took a pill and I feel as bad as before.
