Avatar n tn I recently worked with an epoxy that I had thought was an MSDS Health rating 2, which means: "Intense or continued exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury unless prompt medical attention is given." The warnings on the package suggest to avoid eye/skin contact, avoid breathing vapors and to work in "adequate ventilation" (note that no one ever explains what this means).
Avatar m tn I been taking Citalopram for several years and intend to keep on taking it however I have recently come across Escitalopram and it is almost half the price here where I live. When googling it, it seems to be part of the same family. Do you think I would be able to easily change from one to the other?

Avatar n tn Just wondering if anybody here has ever taken Domperidone and Escitalopram. It says in the Domperidone leaflet not to take the two medications together, and some quick research online says there is a severe interaction between the two medicines. Despite this my doctor has prescribed them both to me. 30mg of Domperidone a day + 20mg of Escitalopram a day. Should I consult with my doctor about this or will I be fine? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn I am having a really difficult time health-wise..In recent tests (mri) they found ischaemic lesions. Anyway, I didn't take it well since I am 46 only..
Avatar f tn I have been taking Escitalopram 10mg (aka Cipralex / Lexapro) for 31 days today. For this past week Ive been having repeated very bad morning anxiety/ morning terror. I wake up in a state of panic, palpitations, difficulty breathing, hot flashes, feeling of extreme terror, and I'm afraid to start my day. This sometimes continues for 3-4 hours and improves gradually if I take my Seroquel 100mg. But some days it continues until I go to bed.
Avatar m tn Hi I am not a doctor but I would think that there would be an MSDS sheet that would explain the dangers. You already know that everything you we eat breathe and put on the body has to be processed by the liver. I will try to find something. and come back.
Avatar f tn Hello, what are your experiences regarding Escitalopram for premature ejaculation? Just started it today on low dosage of 5mg. Must it be taken like Cialis before sex by some 1 hour? The 10mg daily dosage for how many days until you experience real ejaculation delay? What are the main side effects and does it include loss of erection or sexual desire? What is the average delay time I can expect?
Avatar m tn Hm. Well, taking your medication properly is important. The extra 20 mg may feel like a lot and you may have a couple of days that you feel 'off' as it enters your system and leaves your system but it shouldn't be horrible. I have no idea what you think the boner has to do with it though?
Avatar f tn I was on Escitalopram for 6 days. Two days on 10 mg, then 4 days on 5 mg after I experienced bad side effects. The lower dose didn't seem to help my side effects, so my doctor decided to change medication after six days. Because of how poorly I reacted to the Escitalopram , I really didn't want to take something else and I have not since then. It has now been five weeks since I took the last dose of that Escitalopram.
Avatar n tn When discontinuing an SSRI, such as Lexapro (Escitalopram), there is a possibility of experiencing withdrawal type symptoms if abruptly stopped thus tapering would be appropriate. Symptoms of withdrawal include irritability, dizziness, sensory disturbances, headache, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, and in severe cases seizures. If you follow a tapering schedule and these symptoms still occur, resuming your previous dose with a more gradual taper should be considered.
Avatar m tn My daughter is 16 and had been taking escitalopram for about a year (as much as 20mg/day). She was diagnosed by a psychiatrist that she has been seeing for a little over a year. She was not doing well in school and even getting up each day is a chore. She also has thoughts of suicide. She sees not future for herself. The psychiatrist thought changing meds might help, so we weened her off the escitalopram going from 20mg - 15 - 10 - 5- to 2.5mg over the coarse of a month. After getting to 2.
Avatar n tn A paranoid schizophrenic patient who are taking escitalopram daily was sleeping 12 hours daily, then when he started using computer and sleep less about 7 hours daily, he started to have vivid dreams that are about matters that always bother him like constipation, his hateful brothers, his future losing of his money or apartment. could shifting in sleep duration and using of computer lead to these dreams, and as for these dreams are they good signs or bad ?
535882 tn?1396576685 Hi kl, Just a small FYI, and as a sort of courtesy to those wishing to respond, it's really better if you put all your questions into one post. Thanks! As to your questions if escitalopram (Lexapo) can cause your nerves to feel "hyper," this medication can cause tremors and twitching. I'm not sure if that is what you mean by "hyper" or not. It can also cause CNS headaches and sinus headache.
Avatar m tn All SSRIs, including escitalopram, should not be combined with drugs in the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor class of antidepressants such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), selegiline (Eldepryl) and procarbazine (Matulane). Such combinations may lead to confusion, high blood pressure, high fevers, tremor or muscle rigidity, and increased activity.
Avatar f tn I am a 19 year old male. I have suffered panic attacks for 2 years and just a few days ago (Wednesday, Feb. 5 '14) I was put on 10mg Escitalopram. Generic for lexapro. The first day I took it... I had a huge wave of happy emotions. 30 minutes later, I was crying and feeling sad. Then, my body started feeling really cold and really hot at the same Time. About an hour into taking it... I had a horrible panic attack. My hands were tingling and my feet were sweating.
