Yes! I started taking Lexapro about 4 weeks ago and I ran out of the trial packs my doctor gave me. He gave me 10mgs. to start on. I have not taken it in four days, and I feel weird! Vertigo feeling, panick, crying, can't concentrate, "buzzy" feeling in my head, bad dreams, can't sleep, nausea, VERY sensative to everything!(light, noise, touch, etc.) He put me on Lexapro to help deal with my Fiancee's deployment to Iraq, recently. I felt better about things, before all these withdrawal symptoms started happening....hang in there, and keep bugging your doctor about getting on something else!

Does anyone have swishing noises in head when turning and vertigo while coming off lexapro?
I'm currently trying to get off of Lexapro. I've been taking 10-20 mg for the past 5 yrs. I haven't experienced the noises, but certainly the sensation of swishing when turning my head side to side, as well as the vertigo/dizziness. Many other people cite the same sensations as this when withdrawing from Lexapro.

Has anyone had trouble with their gallbladder because you took Lexapro?
I did and ended it with having my gallbladder removed and weaning off Lexapro in one week. My first problems with my gallbladder arose a couple of months into taking Lexapro for the first time years before. I stopped and then I had a pregnancy and about 5 year with no lexapro. When I had a traumatic family sitiuation I tried Lexapro again and again a couple of months into it I started to have gallbladder attacks. I took one lexapro after my surgery and it made me so sick I have vowed to never touch it again. It sucked because it really did great for my anxiety.

Taking 20 mg of lexapro for 2 years but having fatigue dr recommended switching from lexapro to 30 mg of Cymbalta for 2 weeks and then 60 mg has anyone switched and what was your experience?
I switched from 10mg lexapro to 30 mg cymbalta for 2 wk and then 60 mg. Have had good results. For one thing I quit gaining weight, as I did on lexapro. Cymbalta also helped my muscle aches and pains as an added plus.
Is there a treatment for Vertigo?
Yes, most treatments for Vertigo involve some form of physical therapy. The most used treatment is called VRT, where a platform is used to help fix balance and nausea issues. Treatment depends on the diagnosis. A complete medical evaluation is recommended for anyone with vertigo. This can reveal the true cause and suggest one or more solutions based upon treating the underlying disorder.

What diesies can an airplane cause?
It causes no diseases, but in the case of loss of cabin pressure you can get a cold or sinus infection. You have a small chance of getting vertigo. If anyone on the plane is sick, you can obviously catch their disease.
