Oxycodone and lexapro
Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone and lexapro
oxycontin
I am just very anxious over these new happenings in my health and another doctor thought the Lexapro might help. I was actually having chest pains too, and now the chest pains have disappeared and the PVC's are not as often since I started them. They are helping me cope - not as stressed. I really was not depressed so much I don't think, but I was about to climb the wall. This makes me so nervous.
I'm aware that those are also known causes, but we were eating dinner and though he was "slow to process", there were no other associated symptoms. when confronted he blamed "coming off lexapro", but i am rather skeptical.
Indeed, the use of "recreational" with drugs, is in fact a cop out, but not mine; it's rampant in the literature. this man is a know drug abuser and addict.
No disrespect, but this is one of the more absurd questions I have read. You are on an anti-depressant (lexapro) and consuming alcohol, a CNS depressant, AND taking another mind-numbing substance (Vicodin). You should be taking Lexapro ONLY to deal with depression or whatever reason you are taking it. Both other meds are contraindicated for Lexapro. Smarten up.
Equivalencies are generalizations, and you are an individual. Besides, Pristiq is a different class of drug than Lexapro. Lexapro is an ssri while Pristiq is an snri. And if it were me, which it isn't, I'd start at a low dosage and work my way up on any medication so I could see how bad the side effects were and the lowest dosage at which it works is.
Well... Most of you know me, for those who don't, I'm a Percocet/Roxicet addict. I WAS taking up to 150 mgs a day of oxycodone. I tried to taper to 30 mgs and then quit in December then failed miserably.
My new plan is going VERY, VERY WELL! I'm using Lexapro to address my anxiety issues and depression, and I've been taking it for almost two months and it's been BEAUTIFUL! My life is coming back!
Anyway, I'm down to (GASP!) ONE pill a day! Yahooooo!
It's been well over a month that I stopped the oxycodone and I'm still depressed and having panic attacks. If anything, they are getting worse not better. I told my husband this and he said don't worry you will be your old self again and I smiled and said sure. The last time I was depressed like this was when I had my last child.
Can anyone out there reassure me that this will pass.
Hi All, I am a 30 year old male suffering from obssessive thoughts, I had a stomach ulcers 6 years back and i use Rabeprazole 20 mg daily as a maintenance therapy, My GP suggested escitalopram (Lexapro 10mg) daily, after 2 weeks using the medicine i feel much better and my thoughts have come down, however 2 weeks into the medication i started having severe stomach burning sensation especially in the upper stomach behind the breast bone and the center of the rib cage, i recognise its the same fee
Hi all
As part of my treatment for trying to uncover why I have tachycardia, I had to see a psychiatrist, who has prescribed me Xanax (extended release - once daily) and Lexapro b/c he believes i suffer from generalized anxiety and possible depression.
Does anyone on this board (with heart rhythm issues) have success stories from these drugs that you could share with me?
I was taking lexapro and felt it was doing fairly well. Recently I had surgery and this doctor changed the lexapro to a paxil and buspar. At first I felt fine but now three weeks of the new meds and I am tired all of the time and very down. I have a medical condition that I have to take several meds for ex: fentora, oxyliquid, fentanel patch. perscribed through a pain management doctor. There is not much follow up with the new medicine and I wonder if all of this is good.
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.
if your main symptom is palpitations, then a beta blocker might be more appropriate than Lexapro. But if you had a lot of problems and most have gone away, then stick with the Lexapro -- drugs don't cure, they just mitigate the symptoms. You'll always have symptoms unless you find a cure through some kind of therapy work.
I've been on Zoloft for five years 100 mgs now on 50 mgs and trying Lexapro . Past two weks my anxiety has tripled so my doc put me on cymbalta. Will Cymbalta increase my anxiety like the Lexapro I hear they are similiar? Are there any odd side effects. Doc is starting me on 30 mgs.
my sister has been on 20mg per day lexapro and stopped cold turkey. why she has been put on such a huge dose - apparently lower doses didnt work and she has been on 240 mg for five years now. who does one go and see about this sort of thing because i fear psychosis for her. she no longer feels safe in her house and has also developed agrophobia. her GP doesnt seem to do much other than prescribe further drugs. should she see a psychologist ? or psychiatrist? yours in confusion.
Several years ago, I went on Lexapro 10mg and in therapy for about a year. I was on it for 5+ years and was doing great. I went off of Lexapro and did great for over a year. My anxiety started to creep back in periodically, but I worked through it. I was on the bc pill Aleese at the time I went off of Lexapro and still did ok, but I did get more anxiety around my period.
