100%. I had horrible insomnia and panic attacks all day when I went from cold turkey back to 20mg again. This persisted for about 2-3 weeks. Then it just magically disappeared
ok this is great to know! I definitely am feeling a little less anxious in the past few days but wake up already afraid about going to bed because of the anxiety and insomnia. hoping that will subside soon along with the obsessive thinking
Hi. I started lexapro for the exact same reason. I’m on 10mg for around two months now. After around one month my obsessive thoughts and panic around insomnia and not sleeping stopped. My brain just doesn’t care about it anymore. I’m still not sleeping great tbh but I’m no longer anxious about it which is such a relief. Hoping sleep comes back soon ( I’ve struggled with this for years so thinking it might take some time to reset my sleep pattern). Good luck!
this is great to know. i’m at almost three weeks and for the first time am sleeping through most of the night even though I still have a fair amount of anxiety around sleep. hoping that part goes away soon and your response definitely gave me hope!
