Nausea and stomach pain are common side effect of Lexapro, if it continues then Lexapro is not right for you. You should have received package insert or paper from your pharmacy with your meds that tell you how to use the medicine, cautions, description of the drug. Side effects are list under cautions.

Has anyone ever taken Lexapro and Abilify together? I've been on 10mg Lexapro (for chronic dysthymia) for about 2 years now. I've always had positive reactions to Lexapro: great sex drive, great mood, slept okay (I do take Lunesta for sleep). However, lately (for the past 4 months I'd say), my depression has worsened for no real reason. I've found myself a lot more tired when I wake up (I sleep 9-10 hours a night), don't want to be with anyone, no energy, no sex drive.

I get depressed once in awhile and yes I am pretty stressed working 60 hours a week and the lexapro has certainly helped with that..and I YAWN!! all the time! LOL! I am tired as well but am waiting to see if that passes..it's only been a few days and I am so hoping it works on migraines....thank you again.

I then began to feel some breakthrough anxiety symptoms even staying on this dosage routine- shortness of breath, shaking and horrible nausea. I took my dose to .25 every 3 hours instead of 4 and it helped. Mind you I wake up at night and have to continue the schedule or I feel sick. This has all been going on for almost 6 weeks now. I have been back to see my Dr several times and he got upset with me and told me I was taking too much.

i take lexapro,and i was coming off the prozac, but before that paxil,and i started 20mg and i had no symptoms or anything. but im still feeling like i need an increase.

I told my doctor and he switched me to 5mg of lexapro. I wanna know if that nausea goes away after I get used to Prozac I’m just not sure what to do. Other than the nausea I was feeling good. I want to know if anyone has had the same issue. Or if I could switch off, take one Prozac a day and the next day take lexapro.

i stopped cold turkey from wellbutrin and celexa and was feeling ok for a few days then it hit me. i then went back to half dosage of each for 4 days, this made all symptoms of withdrawal go away. i then dropped my dose to 1/4 for 4 days, figuring this would hopefully make me have no withdrawal symptoms. not sure if i didn't step down for long enough or what but withdrawal is back though definitely not as severe. i have the vertigo which is awful. feeling dizzy, nauseous.

Good question about if the brain goes thru these episodes and do we need meds. I never had anxiety like this ever in my life until about a year ago. Had my first panic attack last winter. I tried buspar - HORRIBLE side effects that I couldn't handle. I have ativan but I can't take it daily as it does strange things to me. I become so sedated and heavy feeling, weak that I can't do anything. And I'm only talking .25mg. a day. I'm VERY sensitive to meds.

I have been off a week and have hives and itching all over by body, shoulder and back ache nausea.

Hello and welcome! Your doctor prescribed you a common regimen. The Lexapro is an SSRI antidepressant that will take some time to become effective (typically 4-6 weeks, sometimes up to 8 weeks, especially when starting on a low dose as you are). The Xanax is a benzodiazepine, anti-anxiety medication that is being Rx'ed to treat the symptoms of anxiety while you're adjusting to the Lexapro, and waiting for it to become effective in reducing your anxiety.

She put me on a plan where i decrease my Lexapro and slowly add Paxil. I am currently on only 5mg of Lexapro. My nausea has decreased but still miserable and now it is mixed with Lexapro withdrawl symptoms, which as you may know, is a nightmare. I am seriously considering not starting the Paxil and just getting off SSRIs all together. At least for a while if not for good. I just cannot handle this medication roller coaster! Any thoughts or experiences? Please advise! What should I do?

I have been taking Effexor XR 150 mg for 2-3 years and now I have been switched to lexapro 10mg . How do I go about tappering off the effexor and when do I start the lexapro????

I took Lexapro years ago, and it really helped me, wean off to get pregnant, and now more than 3 years later, I need it again.... My doc said the same thing as above, one of the easiest pill on us.... So side effects should be minimal or none, specially if I took it before. I remember having a very low and very fast dizziness spells for the first few days.....And after about a month taking it, I was fine! Good luck to us! I'll take my .25 xanax just in case!

Imitrex is for migraines, do you get migraine headaches? Lexapro is used to treat anxiety and obcessive compulsive disorders (OCD). This is where one keeps doing something repeatedly, like handwashing, cleaning, checking locks, etc. People with OCD often have ADHD as well. Lexapro can calm you and help you concentrate, but it doesn't sound like it's working for you.

It started to get bad enough that I had to go back to my regular doctor. He suggested that I start taking Lexapro 10mg daily and 4 .25 mg of the xanax daily. I am wrried about taking the Lexapro because I took Effexor XR .375 a couple years ago and I had my first full blown panic attack and had to leave my job in an ambulance because I didn't know what was going on. So I stopped that immediately.

Hi lou yes burning skin and burning in the head and chest pain and numbness and tingling starts in my face and continues through my body. My psy said give the medicine time 6 wks but I can't continue on this way it has to not be the right one for me. Been on it 3wks but weaned off of paxil and wasn't sure if it were paxil withdrawl or the lexapro affects.

I took 1/2 of the 2mg ability every other day - only took it twice and had severe nausea and then my hands started tingling and became "claw like". Lasted several minutes, the nausea continued for about 30 minutes and then settled. has anyone else had this reaction from ability?

I feel like my life is a big blur! I discontinued my Lexapro and was never told to wein myself off slowly so when my prescription ran out I discontinued taking it. I have had these incredible bouts of dizziness, nausea and just a sense of electrical impulses going through my brain...It has been 2 weeks since I stopped taking Lexapro...I went to the doctor about these symptoms and was told they would go away but when? I am going out of my mind.

I thought it was time to try to come off it and see how a feel because I am in my early 30s and have young kids and wanted to feel good abour myself again and lose the weight. Well, the first few days off of Lexapro were pretty good and then on about day 5, I started to feel HORRIBLE. I was sweating horribly, had a constant headache and nausea. I was so dizzy. It has just been a disaster.

I started 5 mg around 9 Feb, upped to 10 mg around 20 feb, up to 15 mg 11 March and 20 mg 6 April (10 days ago). I have seen improvement in depression but still have anxiety episodes. I also don't feel "normal" yet - so I have improvement but only say 50%. Should I continue a bit longer with the 20 mg. Doc added low dose 10 mg nortriptylene which I started last night and slept better.

Some common side effects of Lexapro include nausea, difficulty sleeping, increased sweating, and drowsiness. Bleeding is a less common side effect, but can occur. It is important to let your health care provider know if you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you take blood thinners, NSAIDS (such as naproxen or ibuprofen) or aspirin since this can increase the chances of bleeding. There is nothing wrong with exercising while taking Lexapro.

I took 1 Lexapro and I became super nervous and anxious about 4 hrs later. I don't know if it was the drug or it was me? Im sure my physical symptoms aren't from depression, I think my depression is from the physical stuff. Anyway I went to a different dr today and his going to get me in for a Endoscopy on Monday. So fingers crossed. Thanks for your advice.
