Experience with Escitalopram (Lexapro)
I am curious to know if anyone has been taking this medication for long term (10 years here). If so what has your experience been like? I was weaned off the medication 90 days ago and now I find my anxiety and intrusive thoughts are back (the reason I initially started the medication). I am not

mothering with mental illness
I was started on
Lexapro
this month but I think it’s making me feel worse which upsets me because everyone said it was a big help to them but I seem to be having reactions to it.

Lost and Confused
I was told to take
lexapro
by my provider and naturally I didn’t because I didn’t like the idea of taking medication like that. I continued to have attacks and was convinced to take the medication.

Switching depression meds?
I was on
Lexapro
and it made me manic, I've been weaning off and I now feel like a zombie who wants to cry all the time. My doctor wants me to start a mood stabilizer but I don't want my brain to keep changing like this. I think I do need something else but everything seems to make it worse.

It been a month since I started taking my anxiety medication again
I started taking
Lexapro
and it has helped significantly. I still have not gone back to my usual routine because I am still afraid something might change. My biggest issue was always the feeling of being dizzy. Its really difficult to control.

I have been put on
lexapro
and zyprexa very recently and was wondering if others had some experience they could share with me about these meds. Also looking for more coping skills to help me when I am in a "crisis". Or just feeling anxios. Any suggestions or feedback would be great.

It's so frustrating.
My
Lexapro

what does Guanfacine do? How does it affect your child after taking it?
He has been on
Lexapro
20 mg but I don’t think it’s doing its job for him. He also takes Jornay PM which I highly recommend for easy mornings 😀. 5mg Abilify and a booster in the afternoon of amphetamine . His frustration and aggression has gotten way worse. Any advice is appreciated.

Agoraphobia/Panic Disorder/GAD- Prescribed Ativan- Advice needed!
When things became too much and I realized I wanted more out of life, I decided to try
Lexapro
. One pill later and I had the most intense panic/anxiety I have ever experienced after taking medication. I didn’t continue the medication and was convinced I was on drugs for days.

Anyone take Lexapro?
I have started taking
Lexapro
10mg . It has started working, first month was terrible. But I would love to hear from anyone that has taken it long term. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Anyone taking lexapro and seroquel
Just changed from Zoloft to
Lexapro
and I am hoping the increase of
lexapro
will help balance out the anxiety and decrease the side effects, I read the increase helps lower side effects as your body adjust to the 20mg dosage. Any thoughts, insights or experiences would be great!

feel like nothing is helping
In December I started
Lexapro
and that didn’t do much and then Zoloft which made me very depressed so I decided to go on Paxil two weeks ago and I haven’t been feeling good.

Help and advice please
I have ocd /harm ocd and I had much success with
lexapro
and Ativan for 20 years til the
lexapro
stopped working 2 years ago. Now on Paxil 60 mg and Ativan and Paxil has not helped at all. Anyone else have this problem? Should I try adding low dose abilify as adjunct.

my anxiety is consuming me
He was prescribed
lexapro
and it threw him into a full on mania. I tried for a week straight to get different help for him but ultimately had to 302 him. Possibly the most horrifically scary experience of my life.
