lexapro

672514 tn?1265655141 I have bad indigestion, I want to try zantac 150mg any interactions with my meds ?
Avatar m tn I am now prescribed .5mg xanax 2times a day 20 mg of valium at bed time along with lexapro and trazadone (if needed). I am also prescribed 100mg neurontin 3 times per day in between the xanax to help with withdrawal symptoms. Is this a safe cocktail and is it hard to get off neurontin?
Avatar m tn I know headache is a common side effect but was wondering what I could take for it? I read that ibuprofen and asprin can cause interactions. Are the interactions for people that take a lot or what? Thanks for the help.
Avatar n tn Lexapro shouldn't cause any particular GI discomfort. I don't know what GERD med you're on, but I'm not aware of any drug interactions between GERD meds and Lexapro (check with your pharmacists or an online tool as found on RxList.com). However, some people do have odd reactions to psychiatric meds, in particular during the first couple of weeks of taking them. Check with your doctor to see if the problem persists.
Avatar m tn Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you're taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Withdrawal: Don't abruptly stop taking Lexapro, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Discontinue under medical supervision. Monitoring: Regularly attend follow-up appointments to monitor your response to the medication and any necessary adjustments.
Avatar f tn im not sure about birth control but i can add to your list. im a student of psychotherapy and a long time anxiety suffer and im on lexapro now with very good results. good luck if you give me like 10minutes i can get you the info.
Avatar m tn Can I take L-Tyrosine if I have to take 10mg of Lexapro and 300mg of Wellbutrin? I am also on Avacor (a mixture between norvasc and benicar) for high blood pressure. I have OCD and have to take these meds.
Avatar f tn My doctor wants me to start Lexapro because of depression & anxiety symptoms. My insurance company is denying because I also take Ampyra, Rebiff & Nuvigil. Do these drugs interact with each other that insurance would deny it?
Avatar n tn When you were switched, I'm assuming a doctor made this decision to switch out Lexapro for Paxil and add on Klonopin? Are they aware of your also taking propranolol? Drug interactions are real but typically doctors try to be aware of a patients full history as long as you provide it to them. A pharmacist where you fulfil your prescriptions is also a great source of information. In general, paxil and klonopin are frequently prescribed together.
Avatar f tn Your doctor prescribed buspar AND Lexapro? *** Buspar and Lexapro should NOT be taken at same time because they can cause a rare but serious side effect of serotonin syndrome. You don't want that. So, you were right to never take all these meds together and am not sure who is prescribing them with any suggestion that there is overlap in your using them. I would not take buspar until you've spoken to your doctor. Ask them WHEN you can feel all Lexapro is washed out of your system.
Avatar f tn t drink, but last weekend I visited my brother and went out with him and his friends a couple times and drank (aka got drunk--not horribly drunk, but drunk enough). We didn't get back until around 3-4AM and I still took my Lexapro at that time because I really didn't want to miss a dose, especially this early on. So, I haven't personally experienced anything catastrophic after drinking and then taking Lexapro, but I definitely don't intend to make a habit out of it.
1325193 tn?1450127436 put me on flexirill (sorry for the misspelling) its a muscle relaxer. Anyway, I have been taking Lexapro for GAD and was wondering if I was hurting myself by taking this. I have only taken 2 and while it does help with the pain, I am starting to have some signs of anxiety again. Anyone have any thoughts???
Avatar m tn That being said, I do not see any specific interactions listed with Lexapro, but Evodia is considered somewhat toxic by some herbalists and some of the ingredients in White Flood have central nervous system side effects as does Lexapro. Please discuss this with your physician before taking this product.
Avatar n tn He also has hietal hernia and GERD and for this he takes Zantac at night. What could be the cause of the pain on his lower right side of stomach? He's wondering if his medications interactions may have something to do with that sudden pain. I would appreciate if you could give some advise regarding his condition. Thank you.
Avatar n tn It seems to be the only thing that helps. She wants me to start Lexapro 20mg daily and wean off of klonopin. I hate Lexapro because the brain fog when I tried it 2 years ago. Two questions: Is it safe to take all 3 at once (daily)? Should I try herbal things for anxiety other then Lexapro?
717272 tn?1277590780 Started taking it again and they really dropped. Stopped it, went up. Started Lexapro and they dropped. Went to half dose and they went up. I mentioned interaction to the nurse long ago. Celexa & Lexapro are almost the same drug. Recently, I am so nuts about getting an opportunity to finish early that I went to full dose of lexapro and got the lowest platelet reading yet, 35,000. I told her when I gave blood that they should be up but that I had doubled Lexapro and predicted low.
Avatar m tn I had an awful time with nausea for about 7 weeks and tried everything, finally in desperation I took an over the counter zantac 150 and the nausea went away! I take one everyday now but wait about an hour after the riba to take it. You might give it a try as my kidneys were suffering because of the nausea I couldn't even drink anything. Dr even had the phenagrem made into a cream to rub into my skin because the pills werent cutting it.
2101847 tn?1333564794 My doctor prescribed Nexium but my insurance doesn't want to cover it, so it would be over $200 out of pocket. The pharmacist said it's because it's so similar to Prilosec, when the drug company lost their patent for Prilosec, they removed a isomer and named it Nexium. (Similar to what happen with Celexa and Lexapro) I don't get how Nexium is category B and Prilosec is C? How did you get your insurance to pay for it?
Avatar f tn I have tried Prilosec reglan Zantac Zyrtec At one point was out back on Paxil then tried Lexapro. This began again 2 weeks ago and I have lost 16 lbs with no appetite and inability to eat a whole meal. I go to bed fearing that the cycle will return again every morning and sure enough it does. I have considered going back on Lexapro or paxil so I can maybe eliminate the anxiety It feels like I have awful epigastric pain that awakens me with the trembling usually around 3am.
439522 tn?1214951189 Quick question. I take 10mg lexapro daily for anxiety, and went cold turkey hydrocodone monday (7.5 mg 4/5 times a day). Will valerian interact with the Lexapro? Any ideas? I'm thinking of taking the valerian tonight to help sleep vs. using a xanax. Trying to beat the stupid RLS...drives me nuts. Yes, I'll try a hot bath before bed...lol....but it happens in the middle of the night.
Avatar m tn I've noticed a lot of exacerbated ADHD symptoms by taking SSRI medications. SSRI medicines are hard to manage when I have severe hyperactivity and inattentiveness with ADHD, yet the SSRI seems to help in other areas that I mentioned. I have spoken to my psychiatrist about this a couple times, and he told me to try and time the doses between Dexedrine and Lexapro so I don't have too much Lexapro before trying to study, and try not to have too much Dexedrine close to bed.
1475202 tn?1536270977 Is dependency always going to be a factor when dealing with this type of medication? I know I need help with anxiety to be able to perform my daily functions and interactions but currently I do not use caffeine, alcohol nor am I dependent on medication(s). I tried the Xanax ER and it seemed to work as a mood stabilizer due to how the medication works so no ups and downs in my mood was a nice change. Thank you for any suggestions and help.
Avatar f tn HE ALSO TAKES CLONIDINE, LEXAPRO, SULFSALIZNE FOR COLITIS AND HE GETS ALLERGYSHOTS AND TAKE LORATIDINE FOR ALLERGIES. HELP PLEASE, WILL THIS GO AWAY COULD THIS BE A START OF TOURETTES I AM SCARED AND HE IS TIRED OF BEING ON MEDICINE AND WE ARE TRYING SO HARD TO GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY WITH HIM IN SCHOOL.
Avatar m tn Hi. I am currently taking Lexapro 10 mg and have been for the last year. I thought it was working good up till 2 months ago. My sex drive has decreased a big amount, i have these migraines that keep getting worst, i'm getting very forgetful (i'm 27), cloudiness in my head that won't go away. I just saw my doc today and he suggested i go on Abilify also. But when i went to the pharmacist he told me it would be $40 a month for the script. I can not afford that.
