Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 , I took Lexapro 20 mg for 8 months while on LDN. I took them both at bedtime. Never had any issues. I've actually been off the Lexapro for 2 months now. Once I started LDN, I no longer needed the Lexapro !! Maybe it will be that way for you also.JanetRRMS 1994LDN May '07 <firewifelopez@...> wrote: Hi all,Does anyone take Lexapro @ bedtime with the LDN??

Find them fast with Search. > Lexapro and Lexatin are different drugs; according to wiki: Bromazepam (marketed under brand names Calmepam, Compendium, Creosedin, Durazanil, Lectopam, Lexaurin, Lexilium, Lexomil, Lexotan, Lexotanil, Normoc, Novepam, Somalium, Lexatin)[1] is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It has sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Escitalopram (Lexapro by Forest Laboratories in the United States and elsewhere by Lundbeck as Cipralex, Sipralexa and Seroplex)[1] is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder; other indications include social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Escitalopram is the S-stereoisomer (enantiomer) of the earlier Lundbeck drug citalopram (Celexa), hence the name escitalopram. Escitalopram is noted for its high selectivity of serotonin reuptake inhibition and, as a result has fewer side effects not related to its serotonergic activity.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The only side effect I had was sleepiness, so I take mine before bed. Personally, I love it - it has really helped me. & nbsp; GE From: plhouse2004 & lt;plhouse2004@... & gt; Subject: Lexapro Lexapro Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2008, 12:20 PM I am trying Lexapro again for the second time. I tried it a couple of months ago and only took it for 3 days. I had a lot of nausea so the doc changed me to Cymbalta.... that was worse. He has encouraged me to try the Lexapro again and give it a couple of weeks. He says the symptoms go away. Is this true? Please give me some feedback.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I have been on Lex about 2 years now. First time I tried it my blood pressure went up and I had headaches. I tried again a week later and it still went up a little but only for a week or so. Same with the headaches.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I was on Lexapro for about two years and it was a life saver for me. I had no adverse reactions to it. I took it for depression and social anxiety. It seriously was amazing until its effects began to dwindle. I just switched from Lexapro to Pristiq two weeks ago. If Lexapro had continued to work for me I'd still be on it. I say give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Most people experience dreams on these kind of drugs. Some have good dreams and others...well not so much. If it really bothers you or doesn't get better with time talk to your doctor. Barbara lexapro ive had strange dreams from taking this im not killing people but i am fighting with people. sometimes even raping men and women. is this normal ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I heard there are " SSRI " dreams.... I have always had vivid unhappy crazy dreams so you can't go by me. I was off Lex for about 3 months. Had HORRIBLE shoulder pain etc. numbness in hands during sleep... I have been back on them (at my common sense and dr's advice) starting back at 10 (I was at 20)...taking them at night and guess what? No shoulder pains, no numbness... I thought I felt " OK " not being onthem but now I'm back I realize I would trade a bit of fuzziness mentally (hell, I have that anyhow) for a better outlook and omg none of those pains! However, it is disturbing to me how much these drugs can affect your whole life!!!!! lexapro ive had strange dreams from taking this im not killing people but i am fighting with people. sometimes even raping men and women. is this normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 This is probably one of the better side effects. I have very vivid dreams, nothing bad (sometimes fights) but mostly great dreams. like flying, seeing old relatives etc. I was on lex for a year till i switched to zoloft. when i wake up ,I remember mostly everything i dreamt . its amazing -- In Lexapro , " Carol Vail " <elvisrocks1@...> wrote: > > I heard there are " SSRI " dreams.... > I have always had vivid unhappy crazy > dreams so you can't go by me. > I was off Lex for about 3 months. > Had HORRIBLE shoulder pain etc. > numbness in hands during sleep... > I have been back on them (at my > common sense and dr's advice) starting > back at 10 (I was at 20)...taking them > at night and guess what? > No shoulder pains, no numbness... > I thought I felt " OK " not being onthem > but now I'm back I realize I would trade > a bit of fuzziness mentally (hell, I have > that anyhow) for a better outlook and > omg none of those pains! > However, it is disturbing to me how > much these drugs can affect your > whole life!!!!! > lexapro > > > ive had strange dreams from taking this im not killing people but i am fighting with people. sometimes even raping men and women. is this normal > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
