Very depressed today
I've been on a recovery from PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms) since I came off
Lexapro
. It's like a brain trauma. Brain recovery is slow. I've been getting better. But I feel very depressed without any specific reason today. I feel so lonely.

Marriage
I saw my general practitioner doctor and he gave me
Lexapro
. The meds helped a bit but I was so lonely. I wasn't working because of some physical issues plus the depression so it made it impossible to make friends. I did a bit of volunteering but soon couldn't even drag myself to do that.

Lexapro Vision and Hearing Side Effects
I stopped the
Lexapro
after 1 pill. I don’t want to screw around with my eyesight. I am really farsighted. You read about serotonin syndrome, but the symptoms are identical to regular common antidepressant side effects.

Reassurance
Hoping someone can ease my mind. 2018-2019 I had a major breakdown and was switched from
lexapro
to buspirone and 150 Effexor. I’ve been doing great the last year. However, I hear the horror stories of going off Effexor. Now all I’m worrying about is going off it!

What is my next option and hope on having a child?
I am taking 10mg
Lexapro

Still here
Today was the day to start my full pill of
lexapro
. About 30 to 40 min after taking it I went it to full freak out mode tremors that didn't stop for hours, crying and my chest hurt so bad. My boyfriend drove me to the e.r. after 30min of not being able to function it felt like my mind was slipping.

Lexapro not for me
I took it once and almost lost it. I hope they stop trying to push it on me in any dose, low or high its not for me.

Best ways for dealing with ADT side effects?
I'm on
Lexapro
for depression (10 mg), I'm trying to eat healthfully, taking vitamin D (4000 icu) and calcium supplement. I'm also trying to do this 16/8 diet and trying to reduce carbs. (But MAN I do cheat sometimes. It's like carbs are crack cocaine for me, and once I start I can't stop).

Remeron vs SSRI
Had a worsening of symptoms with
Lexapro
and Celexa (sister drugs) Felt much better mentally but not physically. Does that mean all SSRI meds are going to have the reaction? Maybe a SNRI like Effexor? Using Remeron now but liked the way the SSRI made me feel?

Update on weighted blanket and Trazodone
.😯 At that time I was coming off
Lexapro
and the withdrawal symptoms were just terrible. My doctor had prescribed Trazodone so after I finally came off
Lexapro
, I started taking it. So far, I am happy with it.

Dystonia from Mirapex
I started on Mirapex, along with
Lexapro
and Klonapin a year ago. As well as sinemet which I was already on. Since adding the Mirapex and other drugs I started getting Dystonia, in my toes at first, then ankle, then whole food and lower leg.

MBCT - Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (self help workbook)
I am also on medication (75 Effexor and 15
Lexapro
). I have read that a combination of medication and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) produces the best results for most people, but I can't afford one on one CBT and haven't been able to locate any group therapy.

Paxil to Lexapro
My doctor suggested that I try
lexapro
to address the numbness and side effects paxil could have. It has been a month of cross tapering and finally day one of only
lexapro
with an increase of 10mg. Has anyone else switched from paxil to
lexapro
? What was your experience?

Lexapro and Metoprolol?
I’ve been talking to a therapist who referred me to a psychiatrist and he prescribed me 5 mg
Lexapro
. I’m nervous to take it because I’m on 25 mg Metoprolol, I know he’s the expert and wouldn’t prescribe me something that could harm me but I know they have a slight interaction.

What was your experience on lexapro (escitalopram)?
Third day on
lexapro
(20mg). Right now, I feel so weird in my head. Earlier I was just cleaning and making lunch for my son when I began feeling very odd: hot, numb, out of my body and mind, accompanied by EXTREME FEAR.

Newly Diagnosed (ish) and lost!
I asked him if there was a chance that I honestly didn’t need the
Lexapro
, that may be the Ritalin alone would do what he was trying to accomplish with the
Lexapro
. He told me I was just in denial, and that I needed to keep taking all the medications.

Jerking side effect with Lexapro 5mg
I just started taking
Lexapro
about 2 weeks ago. Does the jerking of the muscles/nerves in the neck, arms, and legs side effect subside over time? I didn't start experiencing this particular side effect until about 4 days ago.

Lexapro
My question is, is there a big difference in taking 10mg of
lexapro
an then having the doc increase the dose to 20mg? Will I have bad side effects?
