Lexapro symptoms

[AlexisKY]

Hi guys, I started taking Escitalopram again, a little less than a week ago.

I’ve felt super nauseated, and have had really bad migraines over the past week following this medication I believe.

I should also add, that my anxiety/OCD seems a bit worse also (but I know that’s also a side effect)

Anyone else experience these symptoms when starting their anxiety medication?

Hi AlexisKY I just went back reading your posts regarding Lexapro andnoticed that you have come off it before and had the same issue restarting.

Are you by any chance doing this on your own? I have heard that people who

stop and start up again on a medication can lose that full efficacy they once

had. Does your doctor know you restarted again?? Good Luck xx

HiYes when first starting on antidepressants it is very common to feel very unwell and for your anxiety to increase for a while. This certainly happened to me. It is really important to stick it out however on the prescribed dose and very gradually you will start to feel better. First you may get one or two good days then bad days again.

Mine were a life saver for me.

Still feel great after four years on them.

I think it is very important to have support while getting used to them so if you need someone to talk to I am happy for you to message me anytime.

Very best wishes.

Kim

This is good medicine you to face issues but not more than two weeks or so.
