I've been on it for 2 weeks and I am always tired and have a headache.

I was on 10mg and I have really bad side effects and then I went to

5mg and now I am up to 7.5. Going to my doctor. Do you take anything

else besides Lexapro?

Im on 10mg,...I was realllly tired and had horrible headaches for the

first couple weeks..I felt really drugged up too, but it all went away

eventually. Lexapro is the first anti-depressant ive ever been on and

im not on any other meds. they gave me lorazepam to take when i feel

like im having an attack but i have yet to take any..im just avoiding

situations that i would have an attack in, which is really affecting my

social life. im nervous ill get too dependant on the loraz.

I started getting panic attacks when I was 20 and I am now 27. I was

on Paxil then Celexa and klonopin. I quit my meds back in august and

the panic came back. When I was on meds I was able to live a normal

life. Drive, vacations, shopping ect... I just want the lexapro tp

kick in so I can feel that way again

Yeah i can barely drive right now... is lexapro the only thing you're

taking right now or did they give you klonopin also? the lex might

start working better one youre on a higher dosage..

[Guest guest]

I have been taking .5mg of klonopin for about 5 years and I had to

double my dosage because this drug make me feel so anxious at times. I

sometimes feel dazed like I am in a bubble. I am going to my doctor

today and she suggested neurontin and from what I read about that NO

WAY! The past 2 days I have been taken 7.5mg of lexapro. I am on short

term disability from work and returning on 2/1. I can't work like this

working for you... i dont know that much about other anti-depressants

at all

[Guest guest]

was fine until dec. When I went back on celexa in dec I was a walking

zoombie
