question about lexapro(yes another one)

   I started taking it on saturday april 30th, and haven.t had any of the side effects anybody has talked about like headaches. maybe my throat gets a little dry, but i also get a little anxious. is this normal? i am on half a 10 mg tab right now for the 1st 6 days, then i go up to a full tab by thursday. does anybody else have that feeling? Last night i had to take 2   .5 mg lorazepham pills just to get the bad thoughts from racing, and to calm myself down. and my stomach muscles kept getting real tight, but i was having my thoughts os death again like i usually do while at work. but after i took the 2nd one, about an hour later they all stopped, stomach calmed down and i was fine for the rest of the shift. i just don't remember my psychitrist saying that anxiety was a side effect  of lexapro. good thing i can get as many lora's as i need to get by til this blows over, or i'd be hurtin at work.

i saw someone else post that they get anxious. im kinda calm right now, but just got out of the shower. i am usually calm at home, but at work i can't help but think bad thoughts. i guess i should just take the anxiety pills, since they help me calm down and think rationally. i actually put it to myself like this when thinking of heart attacks, i told myself is there a better way to die? we all die someday, and most don't chose. after that i was fine til i got home and took my lexapro. not having bad thoughts, just anxious. also had a job interview, so that got me a little worked up too. im great at them, but i hate waiting for call backs.
