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.

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!

Lexapro vs Prozac
I’ve been on 10mg of
Lexapro
for about 5 yrs ,as well as Xanax. I’ve gained a lot of weight since I’ve been on
Lexapro
and the past few months I’m not excited about anything, no motivation to do much of anything. Other than things I have to do. My psychiatrist wants to put me on 10 mg of Prozac.

Amlodipine Side Effects, short and long term
I am also being recently treated for long-standing anxiety with 10mg
Lexapro
daily. My last BP reading a few days ago was 126/86 at the doctor's ( I am VERY MUCH a white coat syndrome sufferer, so that reading is pretty good for me) and it is usually lower at home, though not always.

Effective ADHD treatment for spouse who doesn't seem invested in change
Even though he sees a therapist and psychiatrist, is taking Adderall and
Lexapro
, the only change I've seen in him is that he can pay attention to what I say well enough to go on a tangent about something related to what I've said (when before he would start in with something unrelated).

Hyperthyroid in the states
Psych said probably General Anxiety Disorder so was put on 10mg
Lexapro
. After 2 weeks,anxiety was less intense, I assume due to the
Lexapro
. By July 20th I had lost 30 lbs in a 6week period. I looked up all the symptoms of hyperthyroid and almost all of mine were a perfect match.

do inactive ingredients such as magnesium in my Lexapro decrease synthroid absorption?
do I need to separate
Lexapro
at least four apart from synthroid due to inactive ingredients such magnesium, aluminum, titanium. Is that why my thyroid want stabilize because I am taking to close together?

Hyperarousal and insomnia
Hi everyone, I've been having extreme anxiety and depression lately - just got back on
Lexapro
. My brain won't shut off at night so I don't sleep - or I'll fall asleep and then bolt awake at 3 or 4 in the morning and can't get back to sleep. This has not been an issue for me in the past.
