New to agoraphobia... Help

I have become extremely anxious and had trouble going to work this past spring. since I've been off I have barely left my house and become agoraphobic like my dad. I was on Buspar and it didn't help. I then tried lexapro and within 20 minutes after taking my first pill I was sitting on my bed hysterically crying and rocking. Tried citalopram and that made me vomiting frequently going to the bathroom, stomach cramps, uninterested in food, exhausted and zombie-like so I stopped taking it.

I have now been off medicine and seeing a therapist. the problem is I Start work again in 10 days and I'm looking back and wondering if the lexapro dose at 10 mg was just too high for me since I am only 104 lbs. Has anyone tried it at a smaller dose and had positive results?

It's good to hear that you are seeing a therapist, that is a positive thing that should help you long term...

Have you been seeing a psychiatrist to help you with your medications? You might find it most helpful to speak to a professional like that to help you find something that works for you.

Obviously I don't know anything about medication except for my personal experiences but I would say, when I started on lexapro, I started on a 5mg dose and I weigh about twice as much as you. I found the lexapro was helpful for me to some extent and I eventually built the dosage up quite a bit over the time I was taking it. Maybe you could ask your prescribing doctor if they think it would make a difference for you to try smaller dosages of medication when you start out, in case that might make some difference to your ability to tolerate it?
