Lexapro Please Help Me!!!!! Posted: 12-02-06 19:26pm
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?

I've been on 10 mg lexapro for about 6
weeks or so now. The first week I had
horrible stomach pain, nausea, even cold
sweats a couple times. I'm glad I stayed
on it because the symptoms subsided after
the first week once my body got used to
it.
After a month, I went for a follow up with
the Dr. I told him about the symptoms.
He wasn't surprised at all. I told him
they went away after a week and he said it
was common.
