Lexapro

Once you have it hthe only thing that may help is to boost the vitamins especial vitamin C.

You should consult your prescribing doctor. They will most likely tell you that there is a low possibility of an epileptic response. Much lower than other stimulants like Adderall, though. In the case that the drugs are mixed interaction should be monitored and it would be a good idea to have an anti epileptic medication such as a benzodiazepine (eg Xanax).

No. Those drugs take a while to start working.

Dizziness is indeed a reported side effect of Lexipro (escitalopram). See the link below.

I have been on 20mg Lexapro for over 3 years and stopped cold turkey. I have the 'head sparks' and have had them for 3 weeks now. It has definitely interfered with concentration which causes agitation and irritability. I have also not had one night without seriously bizarre dreams that last the entire night. Whatever it takes, it can't last forever and can't say Lexapro did anything for me but cause serious weight gain. It's easier to deal with life than to mask it with medication; I recommend getting involved in self help books.

supposedly it can cause bleeding in the liver, gums, etc. talk to your doctor. in small doses it is sometimes permitted.

Yes! There are no known reactions b/t these two drugs. Only thing u may feel moderately dizzy at the worst!

Did you stop this medication with your doctor's suggestion or on your own? I would recommend that you see a psychiatrist/physician before deciding what to do. It is possible that your body took 2 months to totally get rid of the effects of Lexapro and you are feeling the symptoms again that initiated the start of the med. If it were me or someone I know, I would strongly suggest starting back on a medication or to talk to a counselor/psychologist.

I would say, Better you get the suggestion from your Doctor. Because none other than Doctor would know well about the medications. If the Doctor says okay, buy your Non-controlled medication at http://www.MEDonWeb.net

YOU SHOULD NEVER increase or decrease ANY medication (especially the one you are on) without your doctors permission and supervision. If the doctor told you to up the dose slowly then there is no reason you should get the jitters because your system is already use to this medication. In fact, you could have the jitters because the dose may not be high enough for you. Up this dose ONLY with your doctor's permission!

Lack of money is often an anxiety that occurs in a household.

Generally it will take your body a few weeks to adjust to a new drug. If conditions worsen, contact your doctor and ask to try something else.

Sometimes things would happen like I would look at someone I know really well. I'd recognize them, but not be able to remember their name. People and events in my life would lose their identities and categorizations would be scattered. Is this what some of you experience?

Everyone reacts differently to medications. Some people can experience withdrawl symptoms from stopping the SSRIs (anti-depressants such as Lexapro), while some have no symptoms at all. For those that have withdrawl symptoms, I always recommend tapering the medication by breaking it in half or taking it every other day then every three days, etc. Sometimes, this can take a really long time since some people experience pretty severe withdrawl symptoms. The main thing is to talk it over with your physician and set up a plan that will work the best for you. I am 21 year old college student who took Lexapro, 20mg, for 5 months. I was prescribed Lexapro to treat my anxiety and obsessive thoughts. As most college students, I became incredibly stressed with my major. The problem was, that I did not talk to anyone about it, I just let the anxiety and the negative thoughts take over.

I definitely think I needed Lexapro to get me through the rough time! But, along with the medicine I also saw a therapist, who taught me techniques on how to reduce and manage my stress/anxiety. Counseling gave me the tools to work through the anxiety, the medicine reversed my emotions so I was able to make it through the day.

As I stated previously, I started at 20mg --- all I did to taper off was take 10mg of Lexapro for a week, then I was done! I am on my third day of being completely off of the medication. I am experiencing occasional dizziness/light-headedness and sweating. But, I know that will only last a little bit longer. I am feeling great and staying positive :)

i know you can die faster

This should really be up to your doctor. If you've given it 2-3 months, I would think upping the dose would help you. I upped my dose at about 3 months, from 10mg to 20mg and eventually to 30mg, where I gained alot of weight. It helped me tremendously upping the dose, though.

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.

no... the pill is not coated so theres no absorption issues.

So far that hasn't happened for me. I gained 40 pounds in only 4 1/2 months when I started Lexapro. So at my 6th month I quit the drug, because it honestly wasn't making me feel any better. Just last year prior to starting the drug, I was at a healthy weight (5'5") for my height of 124 lbs. So, 40 lbs is a tough amount to lose when you are used to not having problems like that, and are hoping it will just come off. I waited around hoping that my metabolism would pick up again after quitting the drug. It did not. ---- I cut back from 10 mg to 5 mg and am losing weight. I do not know why a nerve pill would make one gain weight in the first place.

Diabetics can drink in moderation. You need to count your carbs - remember that alcohol is very fattening, too. Moderation means one drink every day or so. Binge drinking is not a good idea for diabetics (or for anybody else) because your body has trouble healing and alcohol damages the liver.

Assuming your child took a normal dose, they should be fine -- one Normal dose won't hurt. An over dose is another issue of course. It's a good idea to make sure this doesn't happen often.

Yes, SSRI's have a host of side effects that can present themselves at anytime and even at low dosages. A person has to decide if the side effects are worth the benefit they get from the drug. Sometimes the a person will experience no side effects, others will experience side effects that go away after the body adjusts, and yet others have to discontinue because the side effects become to much of a bother. Most withdrawal symptoms from Lexapro go away within 2 to 12 days after discontinuation. There are exceptions where they can last a little longer.

Yes, lexapro causes infertility in some women due to the fact that it causes ovulation (and the menstrual cycle) to stop in many women who take it. It is also linked to birth defects.

Two possible causes would be infection or menopause. If infection is the culprit, the sweats would occur during the day as well, and there would be probably be other symptoms. The most frequent cause of night sweats among women is menopause. Early-onset (sometimes called 'premature') menopause can occur in women as young as 20. If you continue to have symptoms, and it's uncomfortable for you, consult your family practitioner or ob/gyn. They can prescribe medicication that will help the symptoms.
