CBT and Lexapro for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Hi..my cbt therapist suggested I find this forum...to help me feel less alone with anxiety/ panic attacks. I look forward to reading your posts. Have had this for 50 years. It rears its head unexpectedly, and, each time it feels new. It can last days or weeks. Scared, anticipation, unrealistic ideas

Can Lexapro (Escitalopram) suddenly start to give you side effects, even if I’ve been on them for years without side effects ?
I have been taking
Lexapro
for about 6 years and couple of years ago I have started to get nausea , stomach discomfort, tiredness and lightheaded which the doctors can not find out why . Could the
Lexapro
be causing my issues ?

I stated taking
Lexapro
around 6 years ago with no problems , for the last couple of years I have been having a generally unwell feeling , stomach discomfort , nausea and tiredness which doctors can’t seem to find a answer for. Could the
Lexapro
do this ?

Having hard time finding the right med
For 2 years I've unsuccessfully tried other SSRIs like brand name Zoloft, generic
Lexapro
, generic Celexa but they either caused too much physical side effects, didn't help the OCD, or both! I'm currently on generic Celexa and want to make the shift to brand name because of the side effects.

Escitalopram/ Lexapro-5 weeks in!
After a pretty rough first 2 weeks of side effects ( I nearly gave up after a week!) I thought I’d let people know that I’m really feeling good with no side effects. Sleeping so much better, no waking up with nightmares (haven’t had any since day 1) to the extent that I have decided that I am needing

Noooooooooo! Why? :(
Hi- So update and insight needed....my BF was on
Lexapro
, and everything was great- but then I could tell things were changing- he was reverting back....and then he admitted that he stopped taking it- because he was getting headaches and then finally admitted that he felt different when on them- well

Lexapro and Trazodone combo treatment
Started
Lexapro
(5mg.) last week. Also taking 5mg melatonin nightly. Started 10 mg.
Lexapro
today. Sleep problem continues so clinician wants to add low dose Trazodone at night. I already have low pulse issues with the
Lexapro
and am concerned about heart rhythm issues, among others.

Medications for anxiety and depression
Currently I am prescribed buspirone 10mg 3 times daily (for generalized and social anxiety), and
lexapro
30 mg once daily for anxiety/depression. The main side effect from buspirone that I get is dizziness , and
lexapro
is the lowest sex drive EVER.

Question about Xanax side effects
I know the nausea is most likely a side effect of the higher dosage of
Lexapro
, but can the dizziness be from the Xanax, the
Lexapro
or even both? It's quite bad today and I'm freaking out about it a little.

Coming off of Lexapro
After 3 years on
Lexapro
10-15mg I decided it was time to try life without it. My reason for going on it was strictly anxiety issues. During college I began having panic attack’s and needed help. I decided to taper even slower then my doctors suggestion.

Thoughts on Lexapro/Antidepressents in general?
They'd like to start me on
Lexapro
. I was curious if anyone else has been on it themselves and what they thought. I was going to try it, I have the bottle. But, I ended up looking WAY into it and saw all these articles about people dieing from these types of meds.
