I have been put on
lexapro
and zyprexa very recently and was wondering if others had some experience they could share with me about these meds. Also looking for more coping skills to help me when I am in a "crisis". Or just feeling anxios. Any suggestions or feedback would be great.

Agoraphobia/Panic Disorder/GAD- Prescribed Ativan- Advice needed!
When things became too much and I realized I wanted more out of life, I decided to try
Lexapro
. One pill later and I had the most intense panic/anxiety I have ever experienced after taking medication. I didn’t continue the medication and was convinced I was on drugs for days.

what does Guanfacine do? How does it affect your child after taking it?
He has been on
Lexapro
20 mg but I don’t think it’s doing its job for him. He also takes Jornay PM which I highly recommend for easy mornings 😀. 5mg Abilify and a booster in the afternoon of amphetamine . His frustration and aggression has gotten way worse. Any advice is appreciated.

How to keep the thoughts at bay?
Kaiser’s mental health can’t get me in for 6 weeks, but I was able to get my doctor to prescribe something (
Lexapro
). Feel kinda like a zombie, as it’s day one. I keep thinking that I will get worse and harm myself. I don’t want to, but I keep getting these nagging, intrusive thoughts.

feel like nothing is helping
In December I started
Lexapro
and that didn’t do much and then Zoloft which made me very depressed so I decided to go on Paxil two weeks ago and I haven’t been feeling good.

my anxiety is consuming me
He was prescribed
lexapro
and it threw him into a full on mania. I tried for a week straight to get different help for him but ultimately had to 302 him. Possibly the most horrifically scary experience of my life.

Anyone taking lexapro and seroquel
Just changed from Zoloft to
Lexapro
and I am hoping the increase of
lexapro
will help balance out the anxiety and decrease the side effects, I read the increase helps lower side effects as your body adjust to the 20mg dosage. Any thoughts, insights or experiences would be great!

Help and advice please
I have ocd /harm ocd and I had much success with
lexapro
and Ativan for 20 years til the
lexapro
stopped working 2 years ago. Now on Paxil 60 mg and Ativan and Paxil has not helped at all. Anyone else have this problem? Should I try adding low dose abilify as adjunct.

Canadian Pharmacy Rx to US
I need
Lexapro
Brand Name as the generic has given me bad side effects on a few occasions. I believe our govt eased restrictions a bit over the years and insurance no longer covers it 50%. Abbvie manufactures it & just ended a helpful program to make it $ easier.

anxiety and insomnia have been high
The medication my doctor prescribed,
lexapro
, made my anxiety a little worse after taking it for about one week. My anxiety worsens with stress and at night. The divorce and missing my ex also makes it worse. I don’t want to isolate myself, but lack energy to even go to groups.

Going 20 mg to 10 mg Lexapro (By Psychiatrist Advice) After 4 Weeks.
I was told to lower my dosage of
Lexapro
that I've been taking for 4 weeks (Started Off At 10 mg for 1 week then 20 mg After). I went to a follow-up appointment today where he advised that I went back to 10 mg due to that it caused me emotional blunting and tiredness during the day.

How long did it take you to adjust to Lexapro
Hence my question, I am in the middle of week one of being on
Lexapro
and have weaned off of Zoloft. What are some of the side effects and what are some experiences people have had with their first few weeks of
Lexapro
.

Med Change update, Lexapro
Had appoint with Dr. He increased the Lex to 20mg a day and Seroquel to 50mg at night to help me sleep. He also discontinued the gabapentin. He was very supportive and spent a half hour with me which most Psych Dr's don't. He wants me to have my thyroid checked for the increased sweating, could also
