I was just hospitalized and put on lamictal and effexor which gave me insomnia which increased my panic.
lexapro
also made me very angry and depressed non stop crying and very bad anxiety. I know i need to be on something.

Low B 12
Dr put me on
Lexapro
and Xanax to help while I leveled out. Anyway It's been 5 months and I still don't feel like myself. I got off the
Lexapro
and I have no depression or anxiety but I still feel like I can't focus or remember anything. Like I'm still in a fog.

Pain and depression
I'm on
lexapro
for the depression and mood swings, but, I'm finding it more difficult to pull myself out of the depressive funk I get in. I get to the point where I can't take it and wish I hadn't survived this long.

Lexapro and tight muscles
I'm on my third day of taking
lexapro
, my mood has been up and down but I'm mostly concerned about the muscle tension. My jaw stays clenched and I dont even notice it and my head and even face muscles feel tight and painful.

Update..Feeling dizzy a lot..
Does anyone know if this could be caused by the
Lexapro
(though I take it at night, not in the morning)? Or is it an anxiety related thing? My doctor checked me for anemia, but my blood counts were normal. I really don't know what else it could possibly be....

A year of struggle and hopelessness (trigger warning)
I took
lexapro
with xanax for breakthrough anxiety. This last year, instead of things getting better, they've progressively gotten worse.

I'm new here...
Started taking 5mg of
Lexapro
on July 11th. So basically two weeks in, only side effects I've had to far are the increase in anxiety and insomnia, and I'm hoping to recapture who I was before I wasn't who I was, if that makes sense.

Fell asleep before I took my Lexapro last night
I fell asleep last night without taking my
Lexapro
/escitalopram that I always take at bedtime (because it makes me sleepy). I've been dizzy all day. Is this normal after just missing one dose? With my hypochondria I'm freaking out that something more is wrong.

Hello. Introducing myself
My father has depression and anxiety and has taken
Lexapro
(and a few other meds) for years, with mixed results. For years, people have been warning me that I may turn out like him (depressed, sometimes aloof, sometimes mean or not supportive of others, etc).

Depression & Anxiety PMDD
I tried
Lexapro
in October of this year and everything was okay until I gained 18lbs. up to this month. I stopped taking it and had a HUGE EPISODE and now things between me and my hubby are, not so good. It definitely feels like I'm all alone and no one can understand when these episodes happen.

Increase anxiety starting lexapro .10
I started
lexapro

Health Anxiety
I used to take
Lexapro
but recently got myself off of it hoping that I didn't need it anymore. I have been pretty much anxiety free for a while now until a few days ago. It feels so real and people around me think I'm crazy and it's all in my mind. Nobody understands it.

Getting better and then getting worse
I was taking a mixture of medicines including
lexapro
, 2 types of xanax, latuda, buspar, and some natural supplements. I was stressed about taking medicine because one day I'm taking 1 pill a day and the next day I'm taking 5 pills and trying to balance everything and remember to take them.

Dr put me on lexapro and trazodone...
The
lexapro
is for my anxiety. I have panic disorder and was having increasingly frequent panic attacks and then started not being able to sleep, at all, for days at a time. I have been on the
lexapro
plus trazodone for sleep for a couple weeks now.

Need to say this about anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.
Such as Celexa,
Lexapro
, Prozac, or Xanax, Klonopin, Valium., etc. They do suppress our breathing guys!! My husband and I ran across this while researching COPD. I fully realize the benefit one might have from them, but beware that they also cause a person to struggle with breathing.
