G.A.D
I'm on 10mg of
Lexapro
but even with it I feel exactly the same. I don't feel like I can safely leave the house, and school every day is a constant trigger.

Undecided about trying different medications
I have tried Effexor,
lexapro
, celexa and buspar. They all made my anxiety way worse.... like can’t function worse. They make me not be able to sit still and I want to pace the floors lol.

Anxiety or virus?
I’m on a very low-dose
Lexapro
and I’m starting to wonder if my body has adjusted and needs to increase.I have found myself being a little more tense for the last week or so, regardless of how much I try to talk myself into being calm.

Lexapro and cough Medicine with dextromethorphan
Im on
Lexapro
, and have had a coughing virus for weeks. I am taking Robitussin and or NyQuil. Does anyone else take cough meds while on SSRI's? Any docs say no, because of interaction?

Still anxious!!
Hi all, I have been on
Lexapro
20mg each morning and 7.5mg remeron and 1mg klonopin at night for over a year now. I still have days when my anxiety is so high I think I am going crazy. Although I am much better than I was a year ago, I am exhausted from fighting this battle.

Anxiety and panic
Recently I attempted to wean off of my
Lexapro
but nope....that didn't work. My anxiety and panic came back with a vengeance and it has been horrible the past few weeks!

im new here, anxiety came back
When I was 16 I was on an anti-depressant called
Lexapro
for about 6 months, which really lessened my symptoms. Does anyone have any tips or natural ways to reduce anxiety and racing/irrational thoughts. Thank you :)

Hospital trip
I had a very bad reaction to the increased dosage of
Lexapro
and had to undergo many labs and tests and scans today to check for lasting damage. Luckily I'm in the clear with only a rapid heart rate and mild flutter, no internal damage and no severe anaphylactic reactions.

Anxiety and Menopause
I am currently on
Lexapro
which has worked wonderfully except for the sudden weight gain. I recently had another anxiety attack and just hate that overwhelming feeling of dread and inability to lie down even for a second.

Meds stop working??
The Dr put her on 20mg Adderall xr and 10mg
lexapro
for four weeks and suddenly she started getting aggitated and sad. Do the meds just stop working? This isn't her first med but better than the last. Any suggestions on what to do? Can't see Dr until next week.

Hello everyone, new guy here
I had been taking
Lexapro
for 3 years, but stopped it in July after an 8 month taper from 20mg down to 0. I know stopping the medication is why I'm currently so much more anxious than normal, but I am surprised that I feel like I'm continuing to get worse even 4 months after stopping the
Lexapro
.

Week 1 of lexapro
So I've been taking
lexapro
a week now. (I'm also on gabapentin for nerves which had been working well til recently) 5mg and the first two days I had energy and felt jittery but ok. The next two days I was so lethargic I couldn't function. The last two days I go from jitters to crashing.

Derealization for third time
After a month of being off I got really depressed and was put on
lexapro
but after a week on that the derealization returned. I’m not sure if it was from the horrible depression I felt at the time or the
lexapro
. I ended up going back on paxil and it saved my life.

Let's Talk About Lexapro
Lexapro
is one of the meds I'm on and I'm beginning to question its' effectiveness. First I'd like to know about the side effects others have experienced. I definitely have the dry mouth that is enough in itself to make me want to stop taking it.

I need to know this will pass
I've been on 10mg
lexapro
for many years for mild anxiety. Recently my Dr increased it due to my overwhelming fears and anxiety. and recently started klonipin for the anxiety. It's affecting my job and has my family very worried. Some days are tolerable while others are torture.

New to this forum
I've tried
Lexapro
- didn't react well. (Basically, I'm not very tolerant of any medication.) My doctor wanted to try Wellbutrin, but when I followed up with a psychiatrist, he said that wasn't really a good option for those already suffering from a racing heartbeat and anxiety.
