Lexapro Please Help Me!!!!! Posted: 12-02-06 19:25pm
I went to the doctor with a mild case of
anxiety and at first he gave me
xanax(.25mg) which pretty much did the
trick. Once I finished the prescription
I was fine for a little bit until the
panic returned. I went back and he
decided to prescribe me lexapro(10mg). I
took a pill and a half and this has to be
the worst product on earth. I’ve
already experienced every side effect from
supper depression to muscle twitches to
sexual problems, diarrhea to headaches the
list goes on. I decided to go cold
turkey after 2 days on it. My question
is how long will these symptoms last?
Cause i’ve been off it for 2 days now
and I feel worse then ever, like im a
depressed zombie.(ps. I’ve never been
depressed in my life until I took this
pill) please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And one more note, I took 1 pill on
tuesday (nov 2, and a half a pill
on wednesday(nov 29). Today is saturday
and I still feel like a zombie(like im not
myself) im still experiencing body
twitches, insomnia, loss of appetite and
sexual dysfunction. What’s going
on??????All this from only 2 pills?

Well I could tell you that I have tried
various times to take lexapro 10mg and the
first day I took that pill, my symptoms
just worsened I ended up in the er after
the second day on that crap, of course I
was having a panic attack. But that pill
is meant for you to feel worse for the
first 2 weeks and then you start seeing
some improvement. I just couldnt handle
the symptoms so I got off it, and that was
that, all im taking now (when needed) is
.50mg of alpralozams. Im trying to not
take any medications because this is all
in the mind.
