Common Questions and Answers about Lexapro and jitters
lexapro
Lexapro often needs 4 to 6 weeks to fully kick in. You mention that you've been on it for six weeks with four weeks at 20mg. What was the dosage for the other two weeks?
Well it did. A lot! I stopped having panic attacks and overpowering thoughts. Then I felt like I could handle anything and stupidly went off of it. Now I'm back on it because the attacks are back and we're trying to figure out what dose works best. It takes about a week or 2 to kick in.
I have been on Effexor 75 mg. for a couple of months and still get the jitters, especially upon awakening and afternoon. Should med be upped or try something different. I started tapering down and things were fine so I reinstated 75 mg. Jitters are back. Do I need more med for residual anxiety or a different med?
yes they marked it as allergy and prescribed me paxil but i have yet to take it due to the fear of feeling anything like i am. I've never had this bad of anxiety before it used to be just in large group setting and now it seem like I can not deal with my regular day to day tasks.
She told me they use it sometimes to check and see if you become manic to diagnose bi polar. It looks like extreme jitters and anxiety and constant energy and insomnia when you are on it and manic. So, you'll probably want another anti depressant like wellbutrin or something because it may be contributing to the bi polar at least the mania side of it.
I don't know anything about Nuvigil. I'm sorry. I wish I did.
And, I know what you mean about the Seroquel.
You have to stand up and say, hey, there is something wrong with me. These are my symptoms and I have researched it to find out that this could be the problem. I check every med they put me on and the side effects they could have when combined with this or that. I am not blaming you but you have to assist them. You may not be a doctor, I am not either but I am the one going through what I am going through and I challenge any dr that wants to do a med change. Never again.
ve JUST started the Lexapro, and what you describe (feeling like you drank a lot of coffee) is a very very common side effect. Most people report that the side effects start to improve after about a week or two. Unfortunately, one often has to feel a little worse first, before feeling better.
I think adding the Elavil is way premature, being that you're still adjusting to the Lexapro.
I've searched the web and here and no really good answer. I'm taking a Sonata about 3 or 4 oclock in the morning. It does cause some jitters next day. Now I've started Sam-e and a Super Beta Complex and the Jitters are unbearable. I take some Xanax and it helps some. I can't take much and still function.
The question is ... Is it the Sam-e or the Super B Complex causing the extreme jitters or anxiety?
So I was taking Paxil for the past 2 years at very low doses.. Weaned myself off, but after two weeks off it decided it wasn't the right time and went back to it due to reemerging anxiety and depression. When I reinstated it at a very low dose I got a bad reaction, I felt horrible increased anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation(for the first time in my life) and burning sensations on my scalp and hands.
Omg me too i daydream about her so much...her little mouth her little feet her little face and then i look at her clothes and stuff and get sooo anxious ...but before we even kno it they'll be here i keep telling myself that. Patience!
I'm nearly 34 weeks and it still hasn't sunk in! I'm excited and scared as I'm miles from family and friends and my partner works long hours.
Hi, I have been having problems with acid reflux(severe) and tension headaches (over ten years) my doctor figured it to be caused by anxiety, I had panic attacks but could deal with them. He put me on Lexapro 5mg and by the second dose had insomnia, panic attacks, rapid heart beat, so he lowered my dose to 2.5mg that was fine for 10 days and all of the sudden it was like the first few days but worse because I also couldn't eat, I went off of it.
25, to take for the tremors and rising pains which releaved any jitters or chest pain immediately. I have taken, and still only take one pill a day, two if absolutely needed but haven't in over two weeks since starting xanax. Once a day seems right as I get jittery mainly at night.
A month later, I was laying in bed and had a sharp pain in my chest area nearly sent me through the roof.
No disrespect, but this is one of the more absurd questions I have read. You are on an anti-depressant (lexapro) and consuming alcohol, a CNS depressant, AND taking another mind-numbing substance (Vicodin). You should be taking Lexapro ONLY to deal with depression or whatever reason you are taking it. Both other meds are contraindicated for Lexapro. Smarten up.
Equivalencies are generalizations, and you are an individual. Besides, Pristiq is a different class of drug than Lexapro. Lexapro is an ssri while Pristiq is an snri. And if it were me, which it isn't, I'd start at a low dosage and work my way up on any medication so I could see how bad the side effects were and the lowest dosage at which it works is.
Hi All, I am a 30 year old male suffering from obssessive thoughts, I had a stomach ulcers 6 years back and i use Rabeprazole 20 mg daily as a maintenance therapy, My GP suggested escitalopram (Lexapro 10mg) daily, after 2 weeks using the medicine i feel much better and my thoughts have come down, however 2 weeks into the medication i started having severe stomach burning sensation especially in the upper stomach behind the breast bone and the center of the rib cage, i recognise its the same fee
