Does anyone have vertigo or swishing noises when turning head while coming off of lexapro?

Yes! I started taking Lexapro about 4 weeks ago and I ran out of the trial packs my doctor gave me. He gave me 10mgs. to start on. I have not taken it in four days, and I feel weird! Vertigo feeling, panick, crying, can't concentrate, "buzzy" feeling in my head, bad dreams, can't sleep, nausea, VERY sensative to everything!(light, noise, touch, etc.) He put me on Lexapro to help deal with my Fiancee's deployment to Iraq, recently. I felt better about things, before all these withdrawal symptoms started happening....hang in there, and keep bugging your doctor about getting on something else!

What is the best antidepressant for energy?

The answer to this question is going to vary person by person as antidepressants will have side effects that include somnolence and insomnia in the same sentence. Trazadone is a very sedative SSRI at lower doses and has more antidepressant effects at higher doses. Bupropion is probably one of the better antidepressants for energy because of its actions on dopamine and norepinephrine. HOWEVER, bupriopion has no recreational value. It is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor much like cocaine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine but it WILL NOT induce euphoria or other traditional psychostimulant-like effects. Taking more than the recommended dosage will SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE RISK OF SEIZURE.

How long to one drink to leave body on lexapro?

The time it takes for alcohol to leave the body can vary based on several factors, including individual metabolism, body weight, and the amount consumed. Generally, alcohol is metabolized at a rate of about one standard drink per hour. However, while Lexapro (escitalopram) may not significantly affect alcohol metabolism, combining the two can increase the risk of side effects and impairments. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional regarding alcohol consumption while on medication.

Are there any side effects by mixing 'Spanish Fly' with alcohol?

First,"spanish fly" is another of those urban legends. It doesn't work or at least doesn't do what you think it does. Anyone who is willing to sell you something that "guarantees" results is just after your money. Why not just try to establish a relationship with a woman instead of treating her like something to be conquered? And please note, adding substances to drinks or food is poisoning, and in many places is considered a felony, particularly if the item is an illegal substance (i.e., date rape drugs). If the item added causes actual problems, such as illness or death, that can be attempted murder or even murder. And the use of poison in most states is first degree or pre-meditated murder. And rape under such circumstances can be a capital offense. I haven't heard that term since the 50s! The 'Spanish Fly' was suppose to arouse one sexually.

Can robitussin effect breathalyzer test?

Any substance containing alcohol can effect a breathalyzer test, including burping after consuming alcoholic beverages. Once consumed alcohol is absorbed by the body and introduced into the blood stream. A breathalyzer measures the amount of alcohol vapor that is in the lower lungs. If you were to take a breathalyzer within minutes of having any type of alcohol in your mouth, you would register high due to the vapor still present in your mouth. That is why an operator has you wait 20 minutes for the vapor to dissapate from your mouth. Any substance containing alcohol would register in after consumption, including medicines containing alcohol.

Could it cause heart damage if you took Lexapro for four days then stopped cold turkey?

AnswerYou should never stop taking medications before talking to your doctor. Some meds have serious side effects if stopped cold turkey. Call your dr. Answerlexapro, and all other selective serotonin uptake inhibitors (SSRI's) should be tapered off. this applies to starting them as well. you may recall your doctor starting you on half a tablet or so for the first week, then moving up to the proper dose.

the question is how long have you been taking it? were you regular with your medication? if yes, your body is most likely adjusted to the higher than normal levels of serotonin. abruptly cutting or starting ssri's leads to what's known as seratonin syndrome.

this is particularly important with teenagers who are non compliant with these medications due to sexual dysfunction. please stop them slowly. they have a half life of around 2 weeks (which is why you probably didn't feel better till about a month or so after starting the medication). even if you were to withdraw from the drug, it will remain in the system of at least 2 weeks.

in regards to damage to your heart, there are none directly. however, you may experience problems which may worsen a current heart condition.

signs include

-altered mental states (eg agitation, confusion, including coma's) -restlessness or tremors -abdom pain, increased heart rate, sweating -hyper thermia, live and kidney failure

these are only examples of a few. these last between 6-48 hrs. depending on serverity.

bottom line, don't stop drugs unless you've talked to your doctor. second point, don't stop SSRI's abruptly either. if you want to do it personally, cut to half your normal dose for AT LEAST one week.

AnswerI wouldn't think severe damage could occur after only four days but it depends on your original problem and the dosage you were taking. Lexapro causes serious rapid heartbeat in some people and other horrible side effects. The witdrawl symptoms aren't much better.

PS: Your other concern should be -- why you are stopping prescribed anxiety meds on your own and after only four days.

P.S: depending on if you r getting some serious side effects.its not to serious

What is taper?

In relation to physical education, tapering is where a performer reduces the amount of training they do before an event. For example in the marathon, a performer would not run 26 miles the day before the event as their muscles will nto have time to recover and therefore they will not perform to their optimum. A week or so before the event, they may run a full marathon, but then each day will decrease the distance they run. The day before the event, they may not run at all so their muscles have had time to recover after the training.

What do you do when your Chapter 13 is dismissed due to job loss?

Refile in 180 days. In Indiana you don't need to wait 180 days unless your case is dismissed "with prejudice," which is rare. You can normally re-file immediately after dismissal as long as the court doesn't think you're acting in bad faith by doing so. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

Can you take st john's warts with metronidazole?

I just did the other day. The St. John's Wort, by itself, naturally induces a positive state, but I will add that I experienced a horrific anxiety attack last night, that lasted for quite a while. I'm not sure if it was because the two counteracted each other negatively or not though. They very well might have. My best guesstimate is as good as any who have tried the two together. Best of luck to you.

Is it best to leave a man with too much pride to admit he is wrong alone?
