My anxiety medication is making me feel sick?!

My anxiety medication is making me feel sick?

My anxiety is getting so bad ive had it a year now and ive avoided medication up untill this piont ive only been taking the meds two days but they are making me feel sick its like an acidy feeling and i feel all hot in my head and chest is this just me being paranoid about this or should i stop taking the medication. I couldnt even leave the house yesterday.

Im taking lexapro 10mg everymorning
And yesterday went into a panic so took a xanax and that seemed to bring me back down but i had a headache as if it was like a mild hangover or something. Im not sure if its just me making a big deal out of it coz the doctor said they take a week to work and that if they make me feel worse to let him know.
Has anyone taken this med before?

I have stoped drinking , smoking never drink fizzy drinks in fact im actaually terrifiyed of eating some thing when i really shouldnt be. Ive also lost two stone i only started taking medication because nothing else i tryed worked for me. I cant travel in a car, i seem to be taking two steps forward and 4 steps back. I did get better for a while i could leave the house take short trips in the car and walk down the street on my own and now out of the blue i am petrified to do any of the above.

I was on Lexipro for along time and the side effects for thr first couple weeks were awful, but worth it in the long run. I felt nauseous all the time, dizzy, actually thru up a couple times. I swear, I felt PREGNANT, but my tubes are tied. I felt tired and felt car sick riding in a car. As for the anxiety you feel..when us neurotics(I love the word) start treating our mood disorder, it makes us anxious...cuz we think about it 24/7. The lexipro won't turn you into a nympho or instant public speaker, but a much calmer self. your racing thoughts and worries will slow down, your paranoia will subside. I avoided banks, left hand turns @ intersections, u-name-it..before. I still feel edgy @ times, but haven't had panic attacks where my heart pounded, my breathe was being sucked right out of me, and I was going to either faint or go crazy. Let the meds get in your system..take a xanax if needed..take a nap..if they are too strong,tell your doc..My side effects did subside, but what a ride it was at first!!! good luck and hugs to you!! ooooooooo
