297937 tn?1309383862 I'm ready to die from this restlessness and anhedonia. I'm on lexapro and abilify.
Avatar n tn I'd check w/ your doc and OB. I was on Lexapro and went off but I was also on a smaller dose (5 mg). I've read many different opinions but mostly I've read that during the first trimester it is best to be off. My OB reinforced that if I had any depression whatsoever that there are many safe meds to take. For me, I've been fine going off and have felt fine and am actually glad I'm off! Good luck!

1637739 tn?1371688706 I have noticed more and more that I am restless at night. Can't seem to stay still or sleep. Kinda feels like I am doped up on Sudafed. Lol. Anyhow, I was wondering from the rest of you if this a single symptom, or is it more likely that I could be depressed? I do feel worried, irritable, and have a lower self esteem. I don't have this every night, but occasionally. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn I had horrible flushing feelings, palpitations, tingling all over, restlessness, and trouble breathing (not in the sense that I could breathe, but more along the lines that I would occasionally forget to breathe). Finally passed out around 1:30am. Woke up this morning with a sever headache, nausea. And now, 15 hours after I took the pill, the same symptoms are back. My dr. already told me to not take it anymore, and gave me a rx for klonopin, which i haven't been able to fill yet.
Avatar n tn Im a 24 year female, and recently have been prescribed to antidepressants, and xanax for sleep, I tried lexapro, for a week, but I'm paranoid about side effects, and I started to feel very disoriented at night and had side effects such as, muscle twitching, ticking, confusion, wierd vision change, so I told my doctor this and I was exspecially concerned about the muscle twitching, I get it all over my legs, arms sometimes in my cheeks, and sometimes even my abdomen, my doctor kind of shrugge
469210 tn?1219188128 Early signs of this problem include increased confusion and restlessness. Other possible symptoms may include weakness, fever, nausea, and anxiety. In rare cases, high levels of serotonin in the brain may cause severe complications like seizures, stroke, and even death. If venlafaxine and tramadol are used together, your doctor may want to closely monitor you for side effects. Ask your healthcare provider about these drugs and this potential interaction as soon as possible.

Avatar f tn 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 tried 7.5 mg of Mirtazapine, which helped me sleep and made me feel calmer, but I slept too long (13 hours on the first night) and was unable to do anything the next day due to fatigue.
Avatar f tn Xanax can cause dizziness, fainting, weakness, muscle aches and pains, diahrrea, dry mouth, nervousness, restlessness and pounding in the chest. Please discuss this with your treating doctor. Treatment with xanax should always start with a low dose like 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg and then the dose should be gradually increased. Please discuss this with your treating doctor and please remember not to increase the dose on your own. Take care!

Avatar f tn Scratching, and going from her bed to another bed on the master bedroom balcony. She is doing this all night long. Back and forth and sometimes walking into the bathroom then coming back out to her original spot. Needless to say I don't get any sleep. During the day she is whinningat me as if trying to tell me something. I let her outside and she walks around then comes back in and starts the whole thing over again. Can anyone help me??
Avatar f tn I have tapered down to none of the lortabs and was only using 1 a day this is day 2 of nothing. However i have been having night sweats and massive restlessness that will not allow me to sleep. Is there anything that I can do to make this better or tollerable?
Avatar f tn also at night my hips and legs dont so much as hurt but are restless and uncomfy. i keep waking up in the night because im so restless. im not stressed its purely muscles. Any ideas on how i can relieve the pressure?
Avatar f tn I took Lexapro for about 12 years and had recently stopped. After being off of it I noticed I didn't have to urinate during the night and urges during the day weren't as immediate. Have since gone back on Lexapro and within two months now have to get up during the night and my bladder is weaker during the day.
484759 tn?1208573669 I was prescribed Zoloft 100mg/day 4 days ago, and allthough the instruction from the physician were half of a tablet/day for the first 14 days, I misunderstood that (untill I re-read the instructions on the prescription today, 4rd day) and had started the first three days with 2 times 50mg (morning and evening). It's the first time I'm on pychotropic medication and I felt almost immediate relief from the zombie like existence I had been "living" for the past few months.
Avatar f tn I haven't tried 5-htp for a while because I've been on lexapro and your aren't suppose to mix them. I did want to tell you that I have found relief by taking 6 capsules a day of Omega 3. I take 3 in the am and 3 with dinner. And I noticed improvement within about a week. I'm also taking benedryl for restlessness occasionally. Hope this helps all though you were asking about 5-HTP.
689327 tn?1240229164 In the past yr I have been on celexa, lexapro , Zoloft and now back on lexapro because the 200 mg of Zoloft was making me shakey. None of these AD's seem to work aty anxiety and depression. The only slight relief I get is from klonopin, which I have been on for a yr also (low dose .25mg 3x's a day. My podcast keeps telling me to be patient because it takes time for these mess to work .
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Is lexapro and xanax the same? If not, what is the difference and does the lexapro make you feel the same as xanax do??
Avatar n tn 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
358304 tn?1409709492 Paxiled - , I just wanted to say that I called my Dr. today and told him I was going to try upping my Lexapro to 10mg... and he said not too, and he wanted me on the Paxil. It's only 10mg dude... and at this point I'm not concerned about withdrawals... If this stuff works, and I have to be on it forever... then so be it. =) I hope not... and when I do decide to come off of it... I will do it VERY slowly.
1954418 tn?1327275446 I can not sit still for very long during the daytime its this weird restlessness and I just can not shake it. Anyone else have this problem? What do you do to solve it? Also after I take a nap I am fine. Weird to me any experience? I am on day 13 of no narcotics.
