I have everyday, bad migraine headaches. Facial pain, neck pain too. I wonder if it is the Lexapro 30 mg I was taking for 5 years, then switching to Cymbalta 20 mg for 2 weeks. Is this normal, to still have headaches?

What happens if you take expired Lexapro?

Lexapro is an SSRI. The side effects of old pills are unknown. The normal side effects are headache, nausea, dry mouth and insomnia.


Are there any long-term side-effects of using Lexapro for a short while?

I don't know about "short while", as I'm not sure how long you mean. A few months? A few years? How long is "short" vs. "long" to you? I took Lexapro for about 3 years straight. Currently, 4-5 years after quitting Lexapro, my formerly normal libido has NOT returned to what I recall as a "normal" level. In fact, it's hardly there at all. I don't know if this is due to general life stress or Lexapro, but I had plenty of the same stress BEFORE I went on Lexapro, so I'm suspecting the drug had/still has something to do with it. This drug is still fairly "new" to market, and little is known about long term side effects - the manufacturers and FDA don't usually research the side effects exhaustively before approving a new drug.

Joaquin, the maize starch or crsnotarch is a fine maize flour (maize starch) that in the EU is due to find like crsnotarch or cornflour eye, when he is cornflour has of several types, and the lexapro prozac that you need she is most finite. it is practically like a normal flour, but with white and polvorosa corn, because cornflour more common yellowish and of is granulated more thickness, that is not going to serve to you. greetings

If i quit lexapro how long does the sexual side effects last?

I used to have amazing orgasms (when I wasn't taking an SSRI). It took me no time, no fantasy was required, just intense, brilliant, full-body, muscle contracting long lasting orgasms (with or without a partner). When I started taking Lexapro, that stopped. I wasn't concerned as that was usually the case on SSRI's, and I knew it would go back to normal after I stopped taking it. It's been over a year now since I stopped taking Lexapro and I still can't have an orgasm. Nothing. I have a libido, sexual stimulation, but NO orgasm. I keep thinking I'm crazy, that it can't really be true, so I try, and try, and try. Nothing. I keep hoping that maybe it's just going to take a while, and it will gradually return to normal, but it's not. There isn't even a glimmer of anything resembling an orgasm. If there was one thing I could undue in my life, it would be this. My sex life is forever changed. I NEVER would have taken this drug if I knew that the potential for permanent sexual side effects existed. I think that this is criminally unfair. I can't believe the kind of sex life I used to have is just quickly becoming a distant memory instead of an ongoing and beautiful part of my current life and future. Devastating doesn't come close to describing how I feel. I WOULD DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM TAKING LEXAPRO!

If you feel like all your pregnancy symptoms stopped in the second month of pregnancy does that mean the fetal heart stopped?

It can mean a miscarriage is about to happen - more likely if there is some spotting and cramps, but it is more likely your body is adjusting to the fluctuations in hormones and is completely normal. Many women have no symptoms of pregnancy at all - that too is completely normal and has no adverse effects on the baby. See your doctor to be sure all is well.
