New here. Struggling.
I was on
Lexapro
for several years before totally weaning off in January of this year. My problem was as always depression with just mild anxiety. Over the past several months my anxiety has gotten unbearable.

Alcohol use during Stressful times. Not good.
My doctor put me on Xanax and
Lexapro
. I am stopping the drinking Now. But has anyone noticed when they drink they become a different person emotionally. It’s like Dr Jeckal and Mr Hyde.

Rexulti
I am currently on 20mg of
Lexapro
, but still have the feeling of panic and bad anxiety. My prescriber suggested adding on the Rexulti, but I have already tried risperidone and it didn’t really do anything except make me feel out of touch.

Escitalopram/Lexapro - an actual situation where it’s helped!
Hello I’ve been on 10 mgs for GAD around 4 months. I used to get really down when my husband was away and would feel low and bored. Big change! He’s gone off to football and I’m having such a nice, chilled day! I’m not going out but I don’t feel like I have to. Comfortable in my own skin. No anxiety

Low blood pressure/anxiety
I've been on
lexapro
10mg for a year. Not helping 🙁 trying to work outside, when I bent down to pull weeds felt lightheaded and that's what started my spiral today of checking bp. I'm a nut walking around my yard w bp cuff attached to me.

Effexor withdrawal
I tried to titrate down in order to try
Lexapro
(I was on Effexor 300 and still depressed) but my depression worsened and my anxiety skyrocketed. I don’t know if it was the Effexor withdrawal or the
Lexapro
. Only tried for 2 weeks on
Lexapro
10 mg and had to go back to Effexor. Help!

SSRI'S
I've been on 20mg of
lexapro
for 6 weeks for anxiety and I feel worse or like I'm taking a sugar pill. Was on zoloft for many years and it worked. I thought it stopped working but looking back it was. Has anyone else has this experience where 1 SSRI worked but the other didn't?

On A Downward Spiral of Obsessive Compulsive Illness Anxiety/Insomnia For 7 Months Now....
They kept me on watch and gave me an Ativan to calm my nerves and told me I should give the
Lexapro
a fair shot because I didn’t even let it run its course, and they’re probably right. That’s where I’m at today....desperately grasping for hope and answers.

I’m a Newbie
I was put on
Lexapro
,and it helped immensely. In October 2018, after months of rejection, I landed a great job. The beginning of this year was great. Husband and I were ready to get divorced, we were successfully co-parenting, and my life was stable.

Remeron
I'm currently on
Lexapro
and it does not seem to be helping, so I was put on 15 mg of remeron recently to help before switching to a new SSRI and to help me sleep. It gives me restless legs at night. Has anyone taken this, and does the restless legs go away?

Advice on side effects
Taking escitalopram (
lexapro
) and it’s done wonders for me after 4 months but annoying side effects seem to have become a permanent fixture. Jaw clenching and yawning and this resulting in yaw ache and sore mouth! Anyone had this? Will it go? Any recommendations to help?

Second Clinical Trial:
term=CMP-001&recrs=ab&cond=Melanoma+Stage+IV&cntry=US&state=US%3ADC&rank=1 Wayne has had a lot of nausea this past week and we think the culprit was an attempt to return to use of an anti-depressant (
Lexapro
) so he stopped it 3 days ago and is slowly improving.

Lexapro
Just curious if anyone experienced really vivid dreams while taking
Lexapro
. They aren't nightmares but don't always make sense.

Lexapro 30mg to Effexor?
My doctor is recommending switching from
Lexapro
30mg to Effexor. Does anyone have experience switching over to Effexor? She told me I could just stop the
lexapro
and start taking the Effexor. Or that I could cut the
lexapro
in half for a few days and add the Effexor to that.

Morning anxiety/sleep anxiety
I was on zoloft for a long time and it did wonders till it recently stopped working, I switched to
Lexapro
and just increased it to 20 mg 3 weeks ago. I feel much better but I still get irrational anxiety. Mine seems to happen at night and first thing in the morning.
