Common Questions and Answers about Lexapro side effects suicidal thoughts
lexapro
There are so many people on these types of meds and if only one reports a side effect, they have to list it. Suicidal thoughts are more common in teens taking these types of medications. Lexapro is widely used with excellent results, I've taken it myself with no problems. There is an adjustment period of 1-2 weeks when you start your medication, but if you experience any side effects, always contact your doctor right away as there are others which may be better suited for your needs.
Were you anxious about taking it in the first place? Have you had similar side effects with other SSRIs like Lexapro? Medications can all affect us differently. I know when I first started taking an SSRI, I noticed a myriad of side effects. It was probably both mental and physical because I was nervous about starting it and my problem was with health anxiety, so naturally I focused in on any symptom that I may be having be it related to the medication or not....

this morning after my alarm went off I was laying in bed all of a sudden, and I do mean all of a sudden, a thought went through my head that I could kill myself. like not a big deal. BUT IT IS A BIG DEAL, I DONT WANNA DIE! where the hell did that thought come from? it was so intrusive and overwhelming. I suffer from anxiety and depression, I cope everyday with it. some days are worse than others, but I mange pretty good. I am in counseling, and I take Lexapro and Xanax.
Buspar may work for some but it has serious side effects that are often overlooked including serious liver and heart side effects. whatever you do just please research and pay attention to how your body reacts. Psych meds seem to be the hardest for people to sort out and the most detrimental to ones overall health if they are not correct.
Well, yes, comparatively Zoloft is a more popularly prescribed drug with relatively fewer side effects than Luvox. However, since some of these side effects including vision problems are common with SSRI, taking any SSRI will cause them if you are susceptible to it. Also, yes, you may have higher level of nausea. However, drugs behave differently for different people. So, its your doctor's call whether he/she wants to try this drug on you.
m also quitting smoking.) He said that one of the side effects could be suicidal thoughts. I have never had these before in my life. I am scared to death that this medication is going to make me think about things like that. Does this happen to a lot of people? And, does it happen with people who don't usually have these types of thoughts?
Ok so I first saw a p doc for the first time for long term anxiety issues and panic attacks and was prescribed lexapro that lasted a week before I couldn't take it any longer. Called the doc and now I'm on Prozac not nearly as bad as the lexapro. So 2 weeks later anxiety is still worse than before I started on anything else. I'm not depressed but I've been have very frequent suicidal thoughts especially while having panic attacks. So now I want to stop the Prozac too.
t have any panic attacks at all when I was on it, and no depression. The side-effects were very mild for me (compared to the side-effects I had with Prozac), and they only lasted a week or two. I stopped the Lexapro about 6 months ago because I really felt like I didn't need it. Then about 5 weeks ago I had a nervous breakdown (depression and panic), so I'm back on the Lexapro. I noticed a difference in 2-3 weeks, but the full effect can take up to 3 months to be felt.
I still feel light headed but that is getting better. The side effects so far are a piece of cake as long as you understand that they are the side effects. Keep me posted on how you do on it I would be curious to here how you feel. Stay positive and remember it can take at least a month to start working in your system.
had break downsand decoded to go back on celexa got suicidal... the whole 9... long story short... I was switched to lexapro and am now starting week 4. I still get intrusive thoughts about my relationship to the point I want to run but I know deep down I love him so much. I constantly seek reassurance ..
was not suicidal before. Also it is on the list of anti-depressents that cause some people to become suicidal, they all might be by now. Unfortunately for me all this news did not come out until 7 mos. after I took it, I could have been in on big class action lawsuit but never did. And you talked about thoughts you could not control wanting too die & not caring about atg. or aby. were severe thoughts I could not control because of lex.

On March 14th, 2017 I took ONE 5 mg pill of Lexapro.
I am a 24 yr old female.
I was prescribed the Lexapro for panic attacks I was having after emotional trauma from having a hemiplegic migraine. Had I known what this one pill would have done to me, I would have taken my panic attacks magnified 10x over this feeling.
Its been 2 months, and I still feel like my life has been completely ruined by just one small dose of lexapro. I've almost committed myself to a mental hospital 3 times.
Like... they said at 10mg there are very few side-effects and at 20mg there are noticeable side-effects. But, you obviously don't want to change the dose on your own, as this can be extremely dangerous! But, it would be worth talking to your doctor about if the side-effects don't go away fast enough. Although... most of the time... with SSRIs in general I find, it can take 2 to 4 weeks for side-effects to go away and then they're gone for good.
s do not know (or have not researched into) that Lexapro in fact has some serious nasty side effects - although the maker (Forest Pharmaceutical) says there is no risk of addition or side effects.
If you can avoid it - do so. Even in the 10mg form it can cause you more grief and depression if used over a period of time. It has a very bad "rebound effect" - since it is a "specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors" (or SSRIs) ...
If reduce masturbation, you will enjoy your masturbation and your health. Do not have suicidal thoughts. Masturbation is a natural habit. Do it once a day only. Then reduce it to weekly. It is possible if you do this breathing regularly. You are just 16 and you have lot of time to improve your total personality. Cheer up.
Hi, I am too experiences horrific effects from coming off 20mg Lexapro. But I can't take all the side effects anymore. I wish I knew what to do to stop the vertigo/dizziness but the only thing I can find on internet (but havent' tried yet) is a motion sickness tablet that contains a vestibular suppressant. Only thing I wanted to mention is that a friend/nutritionist has suggested I take SamE as an alternative to the Lexapro.
