Stopping My Antidepressant
I started on
Lexapro
10mg and next Celexa 20mg. After developing RLS and Insomnia from them I decided to stop taking my meds. Is that a good choice or should I just try different meds? I can already feel my mood swings coming on from the smallest thing. I try to stop it by taking deep breaths.

Worse before better with Lexapro?
I have been researching and it seems a lot of people feel worse before better on
Lexapro
. It's referred to as an "adjustment" period. I have a call in to my dr, waiting for a return call. Any experiences with this?

Info on Medications
I have a few questions about
Lexapro
. 1. In your opinion how effective is it for anxiety? 2. How long does it typically take to work? 3. Side effects? 4. Common dosage?

Evenings Worse?
I take my
Lexapro
in the mornings and I feel like most of the day I have zero emotion but every evening 5-6pm I start getting anxious again. It usually ends in a panic attack with me crying and agonizing over wanting to be my "normal" self again. Does anyone else feel evenings are worse?

Lexapro/Celexa caused my RLS
First one was
Lexapro
10mg, second was Celexa 20mg. Immediately after my first dose of
Lexapro
I noticed the RLS. Some nights were worse than others. One time the RLS kept me awake for FOUR days. On this fourth day I was basically a walking zombie.

Please help!!!
I've been on
Lexapro
for a little over 5 weeks. Helped a lot with the anxiety. Now I think the depression is really kicking in. I have constant thoughts of death (I have reached out to my doctor about this), not like I want to harm myself, but like being so terrified of it.

Sooo.
I'm on week 3 of 5mg
Lexapro
. So far, so good. I have seen a lot of improvement. The only thing I am concerned about now is the CONSTANT physical symptoms and fear that something bad is going to happen. How long till it fades?

Extreme weakness
I did start taking a super low dose of
Lexapro
a week and a half ago, maybe that's it?

New here, need a little help.
I spent 3 months weaning myself off 20mg
lexapro
(5 year daily use), and finally came clean November last year. It was such a hard task to do, and swore to remember the pain I went through before going back on anything.

How do we help them not to worry?
A year ago, through the uncertainty of adjusting to being a school mum, I needed to step my antidepressant up to 30mg of
lexapro
. We had a good summer holiday this year (Sydney, Australia) getting back into things we havent enjoyed as a family for a long time.

Ativan
I'm on my second week of the generic
Lexapro
, and feeling a lot better. My doctor had told me to take the
Lexapro
in the am, and an Ativan at night to help me sleep (I wasn't able to stay asleep). I'm worried about getting addicted to the Ativan though. Been reading up on it.

Lexapro
Hi has anyone been on
lexapro
and gone off them and gone back on them again? Ive been off them for 10 months now but anxiety/panic attacks have returned and thinking I should go back on them. Not sure if they will work a second time around! or better to try something different!
