yes i have a similar problem. maybe it is because you are less depressed, but in my case i don't feel that way.
Lexapro was developed by isolating the active component of Celexa® (citalopram HBr). Lexapro (Brand Name) is also known as escitalopram oxalate.
My doctor actually put me on .05 mg of Lorazapam and 20 mg of Lexapro at night. and I take Lorazapam in the morning same dose.
The highest usual dose for lexapro is 20mg. So 30 will not help you. Sometimes a higher dose is used for OCD, but it probably won't help. Switch down to 20!
I have taken them together and survived. 20 mg Lexapro with 5 mg Vicodin and 3 pints of beer. My doctor said the Lexapro and Vicodin are ok together as long as it is supervised and within the recommended dosage. The beer, probably not ok.
Lexapro is supposed to aid you in feeling less anxious, so if you feel more anxious when lowering dosage, even slightly, you may want to discuss that with your doctor, and if it persists he or she will most likely increase your dosage back to 20 mgs.

It is generally not recommended to take Alka-Seltzer Plus with Lexapro, as the combination may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before combining these medications.
I have been taking lexapro for years and have gained a total of 20 lbs and my eating habits have never changed I blame the lexapro and now I will slowly stop taking it due to this fact.I've tried losing the weight just about starving myself ,walking nothing works I truly believe it is the lexapro>
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.
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?
