Gas and belching
I reacted badly to
Lexapro
after one dose. Doc says I’ll have to wait it out. I will not be taking this one again. How did any of you deal with the gas belching nausea and bloating. For me It’s the worst part of because it makes me more anxious

New med
My go just gave me a scrip for
Lexapro
. I’m too scared to take it. It lists anxiety as a side effect. I spent part of last weekend in er for anxiety. I just can’t handle more of it. Any ideas?

Getting off Lexapro
Stop taking
Lexapro
after 5 days I couldn't bare the side effects it was just too much. My anxiety got worse. My doctor didn't give me anything else, I just continue to take Gabapentin, Hydroxizin, Lamotrogine and Lorazepam. He up the dose of Lamotrogine by 25mg from 100 mg.

Interested in hearing how your intrusive thoughts started and what meds you take. Would be helpful.
Hi Everyone, I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life, but I was formally diagnosed with GAD in 2010 and put on
Lexapro
(cipralex in Canada). It worked well for many years with CBT. A pharmacist filled my dose wrong 2 years ago and I was taking half of what I normally take.

Hope this helps
I started
lexapro
about 2.5years ago I was only on 5mg for a very long time about 2 years. Everyone would say there is no way that 5mg is strong enough to do anything but it worked for me.

Citalopram
Or
lexapro
? My doctor is considering putting me on one of them.

Dark = anxiety and depression
I am on day 8 of
Lexapro
! I just took 0.5 of Lorazepam to see if I can sleep today. How do you guys deal with the winter and dark / rainy days ?

Medication help!
I am on
Lexapro
now that seems to be working pretty good, but the side effects are irritating. I am exhausted all the time (falling asleep at my desk, can not concentrate and have foggy brain). Zoloft was HORRIBLE for me. I am needing one that works good but has less side effects. any ideas?

Not feeling like myself
I have been on
Lexapro
for about 10 years. I. The past several weeks I have been experiencing deep states of not feeling like I have anything to give. A real lack of feeling!

Started Lexapro 3 days ago
Has any one taking
Lexapro
had experienced being jittery and nauseous constantly, I can't seem to sit still and I would like to sleep but I can't fall sleep since I'm up around five because my anxiety wakes me up. Tried deep breathing, calming sounds, calming sermons and nothing seems to work.

looking for direction
All this brought on terrible anxiety and have being a therapist for a year. he prescribed
lexapro
and I feel it works but the only thing that seems to to really keep me calm is xanax which i take 1/2 mlg three times a day. I have been taking this for 11 months and it is a big help.

The battle seems never ending
I’ve been adjusting to
Lexapro
for almost a month and also take Lorazepam at night. Things were getting better (but the meds made it worse for awhile). My anxiety was almost gone, my panic attacks subsided, my appetite was back, I was sleeping again.

Extreme Fatigue (SSRIs, SNRIs?)
Lexapro
helped mildly. It just sucks because I'm trying to stay busy with work, hobbies, and taking care of my 4 year old son. But when I get these feelings, it's hard to do anything! Ugh : ( Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Anti depressants and sleep
I tried both sertraline and
lexapro
and both only worsened my insomnia so I stopped taking them after 3 months. I cannot take remeron (though it supposedly helps you sleep) because it has a tendency to raise your cholesterol and mine is already high. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Terrible rumination
I have tried
lexapro
and Zoloft, none of which did much to help me. Going to the psychiatrist tomorrow to explore new meds to quiet my mind and help me get some sleep. Anyone take any anti depressants that have helped with both trauma and sleep? Thanks.
