help- reaction yo lexapro
| Sun, 07-24-2005 - 11:20am |
am having a bad reaction to the lexapro- 10 mg- i have almost been on it for 2 weeks and it has given me nightmares, agitation, jitteriness, shaking , almost mania , a feeling of wanting to junp out of my skin, restlesslegs- involuntarily moving them and i can't stop it . the klonopin's effectiveness in helping this is decreasing and i am very tired.
i had been on paxil for 1.5 years before i decided to stop in feb. because i felt lethargic- stupid- it took away almost all of my anxiety/ panic. do you think i should ask the dr tomorow when i see him to go back on the paxil- seems right to me. i can't take this anymore.

Elaine,
I strongly urge you to call the doctor's office and describe to them how you're feeling. And before you get any more anxious, remind yourself that those are all normal reactions to Lexparo, and they are usually strongest the first two weeks of taking the medication. I dont think it's a good idea to stop taking the pills before discussing it with your doctor.
please keep us updated on how you're feeling, and try to get some good rest.
Mia
Elaine,
I am so sorry that you aren't feeling better.
Talk to your Dr and let us know what happens.
In the meantime if you need anyone to chat with post and if someone if around we will help as best we can.
