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.
Avatar m tn I don't believe there's any significant difference between the two; when it was prescribed to my husband, the nurse did say some insurances would give better prices on the generic, but either one was ok for him to take. (Our particular insurance didn't have a price difference, so the pharmacy filled it as Lexapro.

Avatar n tn Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. A tramadol overdose can be fatal. Overdose symptoms of a tramadol overdose may include drowsiness, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma. Tramadol may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for.

Avatar m tn Hi. I've been on these boards a long time. My last failed treatment had to fail because about 9 weeks into the treatment, I developed retinal hemmorhaging. My husband (we've divorced now, but not because of this). He had to do my shot that night into the back of the forearm because I felt so awful. As he prepared the medication, I had to keep correcting what he was doing.

396099 tn?1216254986 Do you think you got to hot? I have read that Lexapro can cause anxiety. Maybe you need to cut the Lexapro in half and gradually work up to your full dose. Hang in there.
Avatar n tn I overdosed two days ago on ibuprofen and still feel off. Should I seek treatment? Would it still help? Would I be a suicide risk?
Avatar m tn I am going to a pychiatrist for the first time on Monday but my family MD has me on 20mg of lexapro and last week added 150mg of Effexor. In reading online it sounds like a lot of Effexor to just be starting out on it. Has anyone ever been on both at the same time or have any feedback on Effexor besides all the negative withdrawal stuff I read? Thanks!

The treatment protocol for a Ritalin overdose can vary depending on a various factors such as how much of the drug has been taken or if the medication has been combined with alcohol or any other types of drugs.
Avatar m tn Lexapro is a permanent life long cure for any depression if you can survive the treatment. I was prompted by a marriage counselor to go to my doctor and request drugs for my OCD symptoms (checking, intrusive sad thoughts, previous eating disorders as a teen and heavy drinking-probably perpetuated by my father’s suicide in 1981 while he was on imipramine and numerous other psych med’s) I went to my husband’s pcp who never met me before.
Avatar f tn Lexapro can be/is used in the treatment of dizzy spells associated with inner ear diseases. About 3 years ago I was experiencing horrible, constant dizzy spells that were debilitating. My rheumatoid arthritis doc referred me to an ear specialist to see if maybe I had something going on with my ears. After tests were performed, the ear specialist determined that I have Endolymphatic Hydrops (similar to Meniere's Disease).
Avatar f tn Yes, I took lexapro 10 mg per day during my first treatment and it worked well. You probably won't feel the effects right away. It takes about a week or so before it kicks in.
Avatar m tn Doctors also gave resperidone and a sleeping tablet for 2 weeks after treatment I was fine while I was using these tablets.
Avatar f tn 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. FYI: Reducing the dosage of Lexapro will make the med ineffective as you need a minimum dose for the med to work.
Avatar m tn My anxiety manifested itself (among other symptoms) as dizziness, sweating/hot flashes and facial numbness (which was really scary!) I would bet a million dollars that these are symptoms of anxiety either due to the start of lexapro treatment (I'll repeat cj29: How long have you been on it?) or maybe it's not the right med/dosage for you and you are still having the anxiety.
Avatar m tn Hi there, My wife is 28 yrs old and had some 'panic attacks' some months ago. She was treated with LEXAPRO and she just ended the treatment. The thing is she is now getting 'Dizzy' and overall I sense a feeling of 'helplessness'..also crying frequently. She is also going through some stressful time at work, but she feels is more likely related to the treatment. Is this a normal post effect of LEXAPRO?
Avatar m tn Sorry I am asking so many questions here, but things are moving fast for me concerning my treatment. The doctor here in Thailand wants to stop treatment and wait a 2 weeks and then start again if my platelets drop below 50,000. I am thinking that is not good to stop for 2 weeks and start again in terms of the efficiency of the treatment. I only have 67.000 going into this treatment and surely i will go below 50,000. He also said he wants to stop completely if I go below 25,000.
