Ask your pharmacist or doctor.
It is possible that taking Lexapro and Requip together can increase the side effects of drowsiness, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people have also had impaired thinking while taking these medications in combination.
Ask your doctor.
I am currently in the process of trying to get off Lexapro after 9 months of use. I have been trying to tamper off for the last 2 months...and still trying. While on Lexapro, I would sometimes go 2 or 3 days without taking one before experiencing any side effects.
Yes, I have been taking Lexapro 5mg in am and pm for two years. However I got very bad effects from trying the cheaper generic equivalent.
There are no immediate effects from taking Lexapro. You need to take it daily for at least a month. Even then it is not a narcotic so you won't get a "high"
Lexapro demonstrates therapeutic effects after 1-2 weeks.
i would not advise taking any concerta while taking lexapro. I am currently taking lexapro and have taken concerta about 7 times. Each time i took concerta i would hear many scary voices in my head. i looked up the psycotic effects of concerta and they said that a side effect of concerta is hearing voices if you are on an antidepressant
No you can't... both lexapro and ecstasy are dealing with the same material in your brain - seratonin. ecstasy brings it levels very high, while lexapro keeps it in a controlled level, so the ecstasy just won't work. not taking lexapro that day is meaningless, as the drug is not effective the same day, it keeps a certain level in your blood (which is why it takes 2 weeks after starting taking lexapro to really feel the effects)
I have been on Lexapro for 6 months (10mg). I have drank alcohol on Lexapro and usually doesn't effect me until the day after and the day after that. Night sweats, insomnia and rapid fire (out of control heart beat) are the worst part. Less drastic was the anxiety that returned which is why i was taking Lexapro in the first place. I am now getting off the drug. The sexual side effects are the main reason I am stopping this drug. I had rather have anxiety then be a sexual gimp.
Taking any medication can cause your eyelids to swell and itch. All medication has side effects and this could be one of them.
Symptoms can vary but for most people, Lexapro is fairly easy to stop taking. Talk to your doctor about tapering off the medication and you should be totally done within a month, maybe as short as 2 weeks. Many people experience only minor side-effects from discontinuing use of Lexapro but talk to your doctor or a pharmacist and make sure to taper off as stopping immediately can cause some side effects.
