How old can a filled prescription of lexapro be and still be safe to take?
If it wasn't precribed for you, don't take it. There are many dangerous side affects. Do a search for Lexapro. All prescription medicine should be thrown away after one year. The chemicals change and they could become more (or less) potent.
I have been on lexapro for almost 2 years and my periodshave been very irregular since then. Sometimes I go for 5-6 months without having one then I will have 2 in a row. Before being on lexapro my periods were very predictable I always knew exactly what day I was going to start, now I never know if I am going to or not and if I do how heavy it will be. I have also gained 30 pounds being on lexapro.

Is 20 mg of lexapro considered a high dose?
It is usually recommended to start out at a small dose (5mg) for about a week or so....then bump it up to 10mg if you tolerated 5mg. Some can handle 20mg, some can't. It all depends on your body, but bottom line, it is best to start small to let your body get used to it.
Can you mix ecstasy with Lexapro if you do not take Lexapro dose that day?
No you can't... both lexapro and ecstasy are dealing with the same material in your brain - seratonin. ecstasy brings it levels very high, while lexapro keeps it in a controlled level, so the ecstasy just won't work.
not taking lexapro that day is meaningless, as the drug is not effective the same day, it keeps a certain level in your blood (which is why it takes 2 weeks after starting taking lexapro to really feel the effects)

If you have been taking Lexapro for awhile and cut back the dosage or it is towards the end of the day and you took your pill early in the morning then a brain shock can occur. For me a brain shocks is like a small zap starting in my eyes when I move them to the left or right and moving towards the center of my head. Ive been taking this med for 5 years and never look forward to quitting it, what an expensive addiction, I wish my Doc had told me how addictive it is. Be careful.

Doctor put you on lexapro but im not depressed or anxious?
Some anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs have dual or experimental uses. It doesn't mean that your doctor thinks you've suddenly turned into a nutjob.
Most commonly they're used in conjunction with some types of painkillers, as it helps to augment the treatment in some people (although I can honestly say none of those kinds of drugs ever helped my pain meds).
Still, you should never take anything prescribed by a doctor that you don't know why he/she is giving it to you. Doctors, contrary to popular belief, don't know as much as we think and sometimes prescribe meds incorrectly. That I nearly lost my life in a hospital due to a drug screwup is my own proof. Don't find out by being dead just because you trusted a doctor's word for it. KNOW WHY THEY'RE PRESCRIBING SOMETHING FOR YOU. These people are on the Drug Companies' list - their whole careers are guided by them to make them dependent on the drugs they want them to push and prescribe to you.
Always remember what they call the guy who finishes dead last in his class in Medical School: Doctor.
Can 20 mg. lexapro and baby aspirin be taken together?
Yes, absolutely.
If you have no condition that dis-warrants the use of either these medications alone, then concomitant use will have no adverse effects.
If you would like to be 'extra' careful. Ensure you have a decent meal in your stomach before taking these medications -- and/or spacing them out over the day. Although Aspirin will not effect the bioavailability of Lexapro or vice versa.

Can lexapro withdrawal cause hives and itching in hands and feet?
I have been off Lexapro for about five months now. I had a few of the more documented side effects from stopping this drig. About 3 weeks after stopping back in March, I started getting hive attacks. My doctor was sympathetic and gave me an antihistamine perscription. I have to take it every couple of days or so to keep the attacks from coming back. I missed about a week of the antihistamine earlier this month. I woke up in the middle of the night with about half of my skin needing to be peeled off due to the hives and itching. I took the antihistamine and it went away in about an hour. I never experienced hives or any skin condition prior to the Lexapro that cause this kind of itching. I am convinced that there was some physiological or neurological damage induced by the drug.
