Avatar f tn I was on Cipralex for a year since losing dad and losing my job. had bad anxiety and insomnia.
Avatar f tn It can cause SSRI withdrawal syndrome characterized by nausea, electric shock like feeling, sweating, insomnia, confusion, vertigo, tremor and nightmares. So, if you do not have these symptoms and are only feeling depressed, you are probably suffering from SSRI discontinuation syndrome. You may need to restart Cipralex or any other anti-depressant.

Avatar f tn My went to visit my doctor about my anxiety and sleeping issues and he has put me on Cipralex 10mg dosage a day and also prescribed me 50mg of trazodone to be taken at bedtime to help me sleep. Does anyone take these prescriptions? if so could I please get some feedback on them?
Avatar m tn I have been on cipralex for about 3 years now and have been symptom free and side effect free. I made the decision to begin slowly weaning. I dropped from 20mg to 15mg about 3 weeks ago. My questions is: Has anyone else experienced insomnia as a withdrawl side effect? I haven't been able to sleep for the past 4 nights and I'm not sure if it could be due to this decrease. Aside from the lack of sleep, I feel great! Any information/suggestions would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn After reading horror stories of paxil, I decided not to take it so he gave me cipralex (Lexapro) 10 mg and said its safe and helpful and its side effects and withdrawal are much less than paxil. I am still afraid to start the medication to tell you the truth. But 1 thing for sure Thank God I dont get the panic attacks anymore, and I do not feel depressed or down that much either, and my social anxiety is very minimal and it does not interfer with my daily life at all (i.

Avatar f tn I'm on Cipralex 15mg for anxiety and depression and Seroquel 20mg at night for insomnia. I've been on remeron/mirtazapine before and had no sexual disfunction issues, however I haven't had the interest in sex/intimacy or ability to orgasm since a month prior to getting on the meds. I just started taking Wellbutrin XL 150mg because I'm told it should help with the sexual disfunction. How long until I notice a difference? Do you think I'm on too many medications?
553096 tn?1267348927 I was prescribed 10 mg/day for a period of about 3 years, and suffered no adverse reactions. I recently stopped taking it, and did not notice any unpleasant reactions. Properly administered, the patient should not experience any difficulties; it doesn’t solve the worlds problems, but makes the load we sometimes carry a little lighter.
Avatar f tn I have been taking the medicine for 25 days now and if anything, my insomnia got worse and anxiety has only slightly decreased. I have a meeting with my doc on Friday and would it be OK for me to ask to be switched to another medicine? I doubt this medicine will start working for me anytimw soon. I used to take Cipram for the same problems but doctor switched to this due to less side effects.
Avatar f tn I understand how you feel. I was started on 20 mgs and could not function. Cut it down to 10 mgs and the same thing. I'm at 5 mgs and doing pretty good on that dose. I did notice that it took a very long time for this side effect to finally go away. Wellbutrin in one of the more stimulating meds. You will have to ask your Dr if you can add this to the Lexapro. I know many people that take a combo. Wellbutrin, from what I know of it, does not help much with anxiety.
Avatar n tn I take both those meds and avoid all cold medicines and over the counter medications because they can interact with the cipralex and serequel. I always call my pharmacist and ask which medications could counteract with my anti depressants.
1267205 tn?1321117128 anxiety is a common denominator for all psych disorders. it's not specific to BP alone. Taking cipralex will do you good for a while but then it will drive you manic eventually. you said cipralex, is it the only drug you take or along with other meds ? because if you take mood stabilizers along with then perhaps it's safe. but i never heard someone with BP is prescribed an antidepressant only. cipralex is rather strong it's an SSRI.
Avatar m tn He told me to consult with the psychristic. I consulted with the psychristic. He advised me to take cipralex for one and half month. After taking the cipralex too i feels the same sympton. For that i once again consulted with the other neurophysician in bangalore. He advised me for doing the MRI Scan. The result of the MRI saying "Mild ectopia of cerebellar tonsils. The tips of the tonsil is 5mm below the formen magnum. No mass effect is seen on the Brain stem.
Avatar f tn I am going through the same thing you are right now, also on Zeldox (Geodon in US), and Cipralex for depression. If you just started on the Seroquel, its going to take some time for your body to adjust to the new med., so insomnia is part of the side effects. I am lucky in the fact that I am not working right now because of my disease, and the advice my doctor gave me was to "go with the flow", sleep when you are tired.
574118 tn?1305135284 So do you think panic and fear can be an extra side effect of cipralex and i should increase the above doze of xanax.
Avatar m tn I have had head aches on cipralex, and when I drink some or even more then some drinks I get almost sick with a head ache. 1) are head aches common in taking anxiety drugs, 2) any way preventing the head aches. 3) dry mouth is that common with these drugs.
Avatar f tn My symptoms were relate to me talking myself off Clonazapam (my Dr. suggestion) within a 2 week period, last dose end of June and first severe symptoms on July 5th with heart palpations, skaky inside, anxiety, insomnia, night sweats, weight loss, ravenous hunger, weakness, high blood pressure.
Avatar n tn I would give it some time. and don't keep checking your heart rate. Cipralex and this class of drugs are long acting and not something that would just drop your heart rate. But as your stress and anxiety decrease, your heart rate in the resting mode may go back to normal. A resting heart rate of 50 is in the normal range. You are on a low dose. Hope it helps your anxiety/panic. I have found that often anxiety takes a bit higher dose to really work well.
574118 tn?1305135284 ve given myself a break but then became depressed again the day before yesterday and with 3 hrs in the morning of motor activity and restlesness so restarted yesterday the cipralex based on pdocs view.

Avatar n tn When I stopped, I was fine for six months but my depression suddenly started again. I restarted taking cipralex 10 mg one each night and I improved quickly. Now it is four years that I am taking it. I now want to stop it because I am having very decreased sixual drive. So my question is that, Will my sexual drive improve when I stop taking cipralex?
Avatar m tn I suffer from anxiety, as well as sleep apnea, and have been prescribed Escalitopram to help with the anxiety. However, the anxiety seems no better and I am having increased problems with falling asleep. I am wondering whether I should stop taking it but when I asked my doctor she suggested doubilng the does to 20mg daily to get a proper therapeutic dose. I do suspect that it is contributing to the nmsomnia however. Is this a known side effect?
Avatar f tn I was on cipralex (lexapro in the US) for almost 3 years and initially experienced some dry mouth, but no extreme side effects at all. It worked amazingly for me. I started on 10mg and then doubled to 20mg after 1 year. I recently switched to Paxil about 1 month ago, and have really disliked the way it makes me feel. My anxiety has been much worse and the side effects are just awful. It has been so much worse than cipralex.
