lexapro
I took Celexa for a few months then went off. I had horrible withdrawl type symptoms for about 3 weeks. After that I was fine! Hang in there, it will get better.
When discontinuing an SSRI, such as Lexapro (Escitalopram), there is a possibility of experiencing withdrawal type symptoms if abruptly stopped thus tapering would be appropriate. Symptoms of withdrawal include irritability, dizziness, sensory disturbances, headache, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, and in severe cases seizures. If you follow a tapering schedule and these symptoms still occur, resuming your previous dose with a more gradual taper should be considered.
I was on Escitalopram for 6 days. Two days on 10 mg, then 4 days on 5 mg after I experienced bad side effects. The lower dose didn't seem to help my side effects, so my doctor decided to change medication after six days. Because of how poorly I reacted to the Escitalopram , I really didn't want to take something else and I have not since then.
It has now been five weeks since I took the last dose of that Escitalopram.
I been taking Citalopram for several years and intend to keep on taking it however I have recently come across Escitalopram and it is almost half the price here where I live. When googling it, it seems to be part of the same family. Do you think I would be able to easily change from one to the other?

I became very depressed, and many of my old symptoms of panic and tension returned, as well as new symptoms such as pseudo-insomnia that lasted for weeks.
I eventually discussed with my doctor the option of going back on antidepressants. So I started taking 5 mg of escitalopram again, but the side effects were extreme in the first few days: severe restlessness, panic, dark thoughts, and restless legs, especially at night and in the morning. It was unbearable, so I stopped after almost a week.
I am a 19 year old male. I have suffered panic attacks for 2 years and just a few days ago (Wednesday, Feb. 5 '14) I was put on 10mg Escitalopram. Generic for lexapro. The first day I took it... I had a huge wave of happy emotions. 30 minutes later, I was crying and feeling sad. Then, my body started feeling really cold and really hot at the same Time. About an hour into taking it... I had a horrible panic attack. My hands were tingling and my feet were sweating.
The transition was really difficult, but the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. Today the psychiatrist said to stop the escitalopram entirely and just take 10mg of Prozac each day.
I am hopeful the Prozac will help her feel more energetic and motivated to do things and most importantly get her to stop thinking about suicide.

Just wondering if anybody here has ever taken Domperidone and Escitalopram. It says in the Domperidone leaflet not to take the two medications together, and some quick research online says there is a severe interaction between the two medicines. Despite this my doctor has prescribed them both to me.
30mg of Domperidone a day + 20mg of Escitalopram a day.
Should I consult with my doctor about this or will I be fine?
Thanks in advance.

Symptom onset is usually rapid, often occurring within minutes after self-poisoning or a change in medication. Serotonin syndrome encompasses a wide range of clinical findings. Mild symptoms may only consist of tachycardia, shivering, diaphoresis (sweating), mydriasis (dilated pupils), myoclonus (intermittent tremor or twitching), as well as overresponsive reflexes.
I am having a really difficult time health-wise..In recent tests (mri) they found ischaemic lesions. Anyway, I didn't take it well since I am 46 only..
I have been taking Escitalopram 10mg (aka Cipralex / Lexapro) for 31 days today.
For this past week Ive been having repeated very bad morning anxiety/ morning terror. I wake up in a state of panic, palpitations, difficulty breathing, hot flashes, feeling of extreme terror, and I'm afraid to start my day. This sometimes continues for 3-4 hours and improves gradually if I take my Seroquel 100mg. But some days it continues until I go to bed.
I was undetect at weeks 4 and 12, well probably week 2 when I started noticing some HCV symptoms start to disappear. As bad as i felt sometimes on treatment I felt so much better in other ways once the virus left my body. Totally worth it. BTW not everyone gets horribly sick and actually sides come and go and vary in intensity. Just make sure you know what symptoms you can POTENTIALLY get and be prepared; You got alot of good advice already and there are truly some amazing people on this forum.
All SSRIs, including escitalopram, should not be combined with drugs in the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor class of antidepressants such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), selegiline (Eldepryl) and procarbazine (Matulane). Such combinations may lead to confusion, high blood pressure, high fevers, tremor or muscle rigidity, and increased activity.
Hello, what are your experiences regarding Escitalopram for premature ejaculation? Just started it today on low dosage of 5mg. Must it be taken like Cialis before sex by some 1 hour? The 10mg daily dosage for how many days until you experience real ejaculation delay? What are the main side effects and does it include loss of erection or sexual desire? What is the average delay time I can expect?
Hm. Well, taking your medication properly is important. The extra 20 mg may feel like a lot and you may have a couple of days that you feel 'off' as it enters your system and leaves your system but it shouldn't be horrible. I have no idea what you think the boner has to do with it though?
A paranoid schizophrenic patient who are taking escitalopram daily was sleeping 12 hours daily, then when he started using computer and sleep less about 7 hours daily, he started to have vivid dreams that are about matters that always bother him like constipation, his hateful brothers, his future losing of his money or apartment. could shifting in sleep duration and using of computer lead to these dreams, and as for these dreams are they good signs or bad ?
