What are the side effects of taking two lexapro at the same time?
You should never take 2 lexapro at the same time. I did once because, well never mind, and its just not good for you. One is supposed to make your emotions stable but taking more than one is a huge body hazard. Please don't do it even just as some type of experiment. Drugs are not a joke. Thank you.

I have lost over 90 pounds in 7 months. What you seem to be losing is water weight.
I suggest you look at cutting your calories down dramatically. I have lost my weight with 1200 calories per day. I eat anything I like, BUT i stick with 1200 Calories only! This has allowed for 3-4 pounds per week.
I have used minimal exercise ( I walk one mile per day in the morning.)
If you do this you will lose. You just have to learn to count your calories.
Answer
Walk everyday at a reasonable pace for 45 minutes. Cut out any foods with high fructose corn syrup, transfats or saturated fats. Cook at home so that you are certain of the ingredients. Drink several glasses of water a day, eat your veggies and protein, and get enough rest. A 1200 calorie diet is too low for most people, so you want to vary your diet daily from this very low to a reasonable 16xyour current weight so that your body doesn't think it is starving. There are lots of websites with reasonable plans and ideas for eating to lose weight. 1 to 2 pounds a week is reasonable loss and it should stay gone if you do not revert to old habits. Keep in mind that your age and any medications you are taking can slow things down a bit.

Can Cymbalta be taken with lexapro without developing serotonin syndrome?
I wouldn't suggest it at all. Just from personal experience, I developed a moderate case of serotonin syndrome while weening myself off Lexapro to switch to Cymbalta. Had I taken my regular dosage of Lexapro (20mg) with the 20mg of Cymbalta, I probably would have ended up in the ER.
Can you take benicar and hydrochorizide with lexapro?

Can getting a Steroid injection hurt an unborn child?
It can indeed hurt the unborn child. Most pregnant women do not smoke nor do they drink much alcholol during pregnancy. This enables the unborn child to get healthy and strong, and makes the change of giving birth to an unhealthy child significantly smaller. The same goes for steroids -- it would be un-advisable to use them during pregnancy. In fact, I would not recommend anyone to use them at all.
What side effects would you expect if you drink alcohol while taking Labetalol?
Most likely a reduction of its anti-hypertensive effect.
Is starting out on 5 mgs of lexapro going to work?
Generally, 5mg is a starting point to taking 10mg, which is the lowest proven-effective dose. However, try 5mg for a while! If it works, then there's no need to take 10mg.
Note on the above: Well, then how do you expect people to come off it? It's WAY better to wean off it then just stop it. Those are the exact words my doctor gave me, so putting them in quotes and telling someone never to do it, is stupid. ESPECIALLY if it's doctor directed it's absolutely FINE to wean off of it, in fact, it's the only way you want to come off of any antidepressants. And doctors don't always give clear directions. Despite asking for clarification my doctors directions for weaning off were quite vague, so I imagine it isn't all that specific or dangerous a process, or he'd be asking for a malpractice suit.
Can I take lexapro synthroid multi vitamin for iron fish tablet omege 3 at the same time?
it is safe to be on all these medications at the same time; however, you should take your synthroid by itself, on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal to fully absorb it. the others are fine to take all at once.
personally, i take my synthroid first thing in the mornng, mvi with breakfast, and lexapro at bedtime.

If you're sweating smelly brown liquid your problem is probably caused by something more serious than drinking bourbon. Please contact a medical professional as soon as you can. ~ T I have been an alcoholic for several years and am currently in the process of detoxing for the 2nd time. On average I was drinking over 1 pint every evening. With all do respect that puts your 2 drinks to shame. Have you been drinking for a long period of time yourself? And if so have you had your liver tested. I have heard of jaundice however, I'm not sure if it's possible to sweat out bilirubin. Perhaps it is. Though I have never seen it and you know how much I consume. Call your Dr. Hun! And good luck :)
Is there any pictures of rash from Lexapro?
I once had an idea to make money online for free but going to wbeeitss that say in less then x amount of days, you can get x amount of dollars! This regular guy did it, you can too! . Believe me, from every website that I tried, they never worked, and in the end, it is not worth the time. To make money online through business, you should begin practicing some sort of proffession or skill that others dont have, and use that to your advantage. Here are a few examples:1) You could always become a freelance programmer. What that basically means is that by learning a programming language, such as C++, Java, or HTML, you can get paid the big bucks depending on how good you are at programming. There are multiple sites you can find online for freelance programming, and all you basically do is make a bid for some rich guy who needs a program to be made for something. He takes whoever he likes, sets a deadline, and then once you finish the project, you get cash. downfall, learning a programming language like that takes a lot of time, practice, and ALOT of time on the computer.2) Another alternative is to make a website and sell music, artwork, pics, whatever people are interested. Make sure you get a program that can help you make a website easy without you needing to know how to program a website. There are free programs out there that can do that, and there are free ways to make a temporary website that you can make a few bucks from before you switch to a full, professional website. Of course, you need to find something that a lot of people will like. Choose something that interests you, become dedicated to it, posts links to your website on youtube, myspace, facebook, and that alone can send you well off into a good business online. 3) If you make a website, make sure you have google adsense. That basically means that you put up google advertisements on your site, and anyone who clicks on that (besides you) will make google pay you. For more money, more clicks, for more clicks, more people need to go to your website. Its a simple, but hard chain to get going. That will of course lead to some money. Hope this helps!
See your doctor or psychiatrist - you should taper down if at all possible. Don't go cold turkey! I have also seen doctors who will give a very very small doss of Prozac to help ween a person off Lexapro more comfortably.
