Genetic Testing for Anxiety Meds
My son has been on 2 medications since last year for OCD/Anxiety (
Lexapro
and currently Prozac) and they work temporarily but don't seem to last. Not sure if a medication change is needed or the dosage needs increased (already increased 2x).

lexapro for anxiety?
I recently started back on
Lexapro
after weaning off Remeron; TERRIBLE transition. Insomnia, gas, but now also anxiety, so even if I CAN sleep, I wake up anxious and can't stay in bed even though I'm exhausted. Anyone else having this reaction? I'm taking 4mg, thinking of going up to 5mg.

A New Year and Best Wishes to Everyone
Next, we tried
Lexapro
, which gave me vison problems and made me pathologically restless. Then, back on Paxil briefly. Then, a second try at
Lexapro
, with no luck. Finally, I got a new psychiatrist who had me take a genetic test, which I swore up-and-down would be a waste of money.

Medicate until they stop eating?
She's on a very low dose (1 mg) of
Lexapro
which seemed to help a lot with her anxiety. Then we started Ritalin, again at a very low dose. Although she reported being able to focus better, the psychiatrist continues to increase the dosage.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder
I was placed on
Lexapro
and it helped. I had another episode in 2020 when COVID hit, it was not as bad as the 1st one but it still sucked. I never stopped taking my meds so i did not last very long. I am currently having an episode and I can say the more I have them, the less intrusive they are.

Had an anxiety attack today for the first time in a long time.
I started taking my medication again(
Lexapro
). I took my medication the day prior to my anxiety attack so now I am afraid to take my medication again because I don't want to experience another anxiety attack. I have not felt like this in years. I feel like I am new at this again.

Possible hypothyroidism?
I tried
Lexapro
once. It cause an episode that was severe and started the issues with edema in the first place in August/September which is when we then tried buspirone. I learned my lesson and took partial doses for a few days to slowly introduce it. If you read all that thank you!

Effexor withdrawal
I was cross tapered off of this while starting Lexpro which was a fairly unpleasant experience and never felt
lexapro
was much help. Got back on Effexor in Jan 2020 after having my son and slowly made it all the way up to 225mg.

Medication struggle
I have tried
lexapro
, paxil, zoloft and am now taking wellbutrin. The wellbutrin has heightened my panic attacks and makes me feel like im living in a dream state. I thought I was gonna pass out last night. I'm just really exhausted and frustrated with the process.

Lexapro and blood pressure
Hello, I used to take
lexapro
for period of times. And now I was also prescribed 10mg. I took only for 2 days for 5mg each day. I was not surprised that the first night i could not fall a sleep. I had this side effect before but it gets better after a few days.

Past OCD themes affecting your life
I currently struggle with only a mild version of “pure O” OCD because of taking
lexapro
now (I think). But in the past I’ve had all different sorts of OCD themes: incest, harm, other sexual related ones, and more.

i have depression, suicidal ideation and I don't know what to do.
it took me two weeks to taper from
lexapro
to Cymbalta. I've now been on Cymbalta since 10.14.22 (2 weeks) at 60. I'm also on lithium. I have had very weird side effects. It was very hard for me to sleep. Sometimes 3 or 4 hours,sometimes up all night.

Anyone else dealing with clomipramine side effects?
But her side effects are so bad we're thinking of trying again, this time while gradually adding
Lexapro
as a support.
