Well I started Lexapro just 5mg yesterday and I've had a bad reaction and my pdoc told me to stop taking it. Today was worse than yesterday but I've had:
• Anxiety
• Panic
• Confusion
• chest pains
• chest tightness
• Derealization or feeling out of body
• Feeling generally uncomfortable
• Like I'm coming out of my skin

In addition to all that weakness and fatigue. It's been a pretty rough ride. I called him yesterday when the chest pains started and he said as long as I'm not having rapid heart beat, sweating, or pain raidiating through my jaw or arm I would probably be ok. I took it this morning and felt really panicky and scared and had the whole list of side effects I listed above even worse so he told me to stop taking it.

Lexapro has a half life of 27-32 hours. I hope it gets out of my system soon. I only took it for two days.

Will I feel withdrawal effects from two days? I just wanna feel normal again. This has been sucky. I even had to call in sick to work today. Thanks for listening guys.
