We cannot answer that, except to say that it is more likely that the Lexapro triggered an existing condition than that it caused it. We suggest discussing this issue with a mental health professional.
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.
I was on Lexapro for 6 months experienced withdrawl symptoms for 2 months after and 6 months later began having anxiety attacks again. I even tapered off the drug for a month but still suffered withdrawl.
No, he died in 1993.
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.
Lexapro, or escitalopram, is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States. This means it has a lower potential for abuse compared to substances in higher schedules, but it still requires a prescription. Lexapro is primarily used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate use and guidance.

If your husband did not have his post-vasectomy counts done, then yes, it is possible. If he did have them done and was given the all-clear then it's still possible, but unlikely.
Yes, poison oak can be dormant in the winter months, as it is a deciduous plant that loses its leaves during this time. However, caution should still be taken as the plant can still cause a skin reaction even when dormant.
Yes, I have been on lexapro on two different occasions for some months at a time. Both times I have had breakthrough bleeding which is very annoying. I am only taking 5mg of lexapro but it still happens. My doctor says that both medications are fighting for some liver function which causes more bleeding. I have also been brusing more and if I cut myself it bleeds forever.
I take synthroid for hypothyroidism. I stopped taking 20 mg lexapro suddenly about 5 weeks ago and am now having many symptoms of hypothyroidism even though i am still taking my synthroid as usual. Any correlation?
If you still feel dizzy then you should see a doctor, if not you may watch and wait, and drink a lot of fluids with sugar
Being Dizzy is a normal symptom for those who suffer from low blood pressure... Drinking lots of water is one way to stop feeling dizzy... You should still advise your doctor, just incase.
