Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 It is not a good idea to " run out " perhaps you can have your Doc give you a refill just in case...these meds must be taken as perscribed and when getting off...it must be slowly, not abrupt....brain chemicals are very sensitive...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 For running out of your meds......... ask your pdoc to give you samples and that way you can have extra to tide you over when you get your prescription filled. I think I heard that there is a law that doctors that prescribe these types of meds have to monitor you closely and if anything were to happen, his/her ass would be covered. > Im always puzzled when i read about people starting on Lexapro and > the distinct feelings they get.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi there! Just wondering if anyone ever experienced their child having talking in their sleep and sleepiness during the day due to Lexapro. Thanks, May the Lord bless you and keep you!
