Hi, I am new here
Went to psychiatrist Yesterday, and he prescribed
Lexapro
, 5 mg to start , then bump up and Buspar-2.5 to start and bump per instructions. Really struggling today. Cannot stop the churning thoughts. I know they are irrational- what if I lose my job, what if we have to sell the house.......

Literally on the Edge
Usually
lexapro
makes it worse before it gets better, but I was taking it for over a month at that point. When I stopped taking it, I felt vetter. Then my doctor put me on Clonodine, and it feels just like
lexapro
.

Dizziness
So I am on
lexapro
and have been decreasing my dose and am now at 10 mg from 20mg. ( been on it for 15 years.) not by choice but seems with changing hormones my body is rejecting the med or at least the higher dose.

Sadness
I am on martizapine and the dr just started me on
Lexapro
, as well. This, of course, adds to my stress because of the potential side effects. I have so much to be thankful for, so why do I feel this way?

Starting medication need encouraging words
Hi everyone, I started
lexapro
3 days ago and could use some words of encouragement to stick this out to allow the medication to take effect to help with my anxiety symptoms. Thank you everyone. It took a lot in me to start this medication as I have Severe anxiety about medication side effects.

Prozac. Lexapro. Zoloft
I have had adverse reactions to every single ssri that I've taken so far. Today with Prozac my skin is crawling/ on fire and my anxiety is out the roof My counselor said that he wants to reevaluate me to see what's up.... he said I can not tolerate this class of medications Anyone else have a experience

What medication do you suggest?
I tried
lexapro
, it made me extremely sick. Then they put me on 300mg Wellbutrin XL. The last two weeks have been amazing. I've felt great. Well the past 3 days my anxiety is back full force. I was thinking part is because I'm sick. But now I'm starting to wonder if the Medicine stopped working.

What depression meds are the best for someone with psp?
He currently takes Cymbalta and
Lexapro
. I wonder if there are certain anti-depressants that work better for someone with psp or he needs a higher dose?

Want to be me again
They also took me off
lexapro
in June bc they didn't think it was really working anymore after 10 years. So, maybe I need to go back on something? My new psych dr suggested cymbalta. I've been going to an integrative med place as well. What finally worked for people to help their symptoms?

Visceral hypersensitivity from Ibs-c
I have tried stress management counseling,
Lexapro
, heat, teas and tylenol. I have had a full GI work up. It is very frustrating and debilitating especially since I am a nurse practitioner and should be able to treat myself. Did anyone have anything similar and if so what has helped?
