Avatar m tn Hello again I just have another question again. Every morning I wake up and take a 10 mg lexapro and a .5mg xanax. My syptoms of anexity such as the brain fog subsides for a couple hours but comes back. How long is it going to take the lexapro and the xanax to start curing and not just cover up the syptoms? I am getting sick and tired of going to bed everynight wondering if tommorrow I am going to have brain fog or not. I can live with all the other syptoms but not the fog. Please help.
Avatar n tn The weight gain could also be caused by other things such as hypothyroidism or DEPRESSION. 10 mg is the smallest dose of Lexapro, tapering off would be like maybe cutting a pill in half but I don't advise it. Don't go off any antidepressents without first consulting your psychiatrist.

Avatar m tn Week 1: 10 mg Lexapro and 30 mg Cymbalta Week 2: 5 mg Lexapro and 60 mg Cymbalta Week 3 and on: 60 mg Cymbalta. Does that look standard? Should I expect any side effects? Thanks.
Avatar m tn I have Lexapro 15 mg from 1 doctor, but my mental health services doctor said most people don't start seeing benefits until its at 30 mg. I was told that if I don't have 30mg pills, I can just take 2/15 mg pills at the same time. Is this true? I'm currently overseas, so I can't get a prescription for the 30 mg Lexapro. What do you think?
Avatar n tn t want to add deppression on because of the meds, if this is the case. Now the dr. wants me to try the 5 mg of lexapro and 2.5 mg of the abilify together, but I'm scared! I hate taking meds anyway but want to feel better. I have also been taking .25 mgs of zanax 3 times a day. I don't want to become a zombie!
Avatar f tn but didnt say anything about what might be causing it. he knew i was taking only 5 mg of the lexapro ans asked if i thought i could go up to the 10. i told him i would give it a shot. but i want to know what it is giving me the brain fog??? it is sooooo hard to focus, to stay in a conversation, to remember anything!! its frustrating. it makes me anxiuos etc. so does anyone think that the fog is from derealization/depersonalization? or the lexapro? from taking xanax??

Avatar f tn i have been decreased to 75 mg and added 10 mg of lexepro. My doc. gave me kolonopin .5mg to take twice daily to assist with the withdrawal. I am scared to decrease again to 50 mg and am scared that once the switch is completely over, I will have a difficult time with getting off of the kolonopin. Any help or advice would be appreciated, as I am embarassed about my problem of panic attacks and until i enrolled into this forum, have felt very isolated.

Avatar m tn Lexapro, the brand name for escitalopram, is a widely prescribed medication known for its effectiveness in managing mood disorders. This antidepressant, belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class, offers several benefits to those struggling with conditions like major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. https://buylexaproonlinepharmacy.weebly.
Avatar f tn I just started lexapro but instead of 10mg i took 5mg. Anyone's first experience with lexapro, PLEASE, i'm so scared of the side effects. They prescribed it for anxiety. Thank you in advance.
Avatar n tn Ulcers are not listed as a side effect of Lexapro. I would contact your GI doctor about your stomach problems and go from there. We aren't qualified to tell you how to change your prescribed dosage on medication(s). You need to discuss this with your prescribing doctor. Don't assume your stomach problems are due to your medication, it may just be coincidental...ulcers can and do come back.
Avatar f tn I have been on lexapro for 2 months. I take 10 mg. It seems it isn't working as well lately and I am wondering why? Does anyone else take lexapro for bad anxiety and has anyone else had this? I still get this chest heaviness or tightness it comes and goes of course. It just seems like the 10 mg of lexapro should take it away.
Avatar n tn I have not been off lexapro at all. I was taking 5 mg every other day then started taking 5 mg everyday until a couple of weeks ago when I started taking 10 mg everyday. I have not actually passed out. I have just been having the feeling like I am going too. I am also very hot with sweating again. I feel the way I felt before starting lexapro before I was diagnosed with anxiety.
397118 tn?1219762250 I have been on 10 mg of lexapro for 1 year then dr. upped it to 20 mg. in the meantime I began 300 mg of triliptal. Back in November I had a jittery breakdown. It turned out I was on a seratonin overload. I am off the lexapro and am still on triliptol. 150 mg in the a.m. and 300 mg in the evening. I feel so much better. I don't take anything for sleep. If I want to have a good deep sleep I take calcium/magnesium combo. It works within 15 min. of putting my head down.
Avatar f tn This sounds more like a psychiatrist! Maybe you should see this person since he knows about slow tapering. I still don't know that I like Effexor for anxiety, but sometimes you've exhausted other options.
