Not personally , but a close friend tried Lexapro and her description of how she felt is really close to how you describe yours ! Like you, she was told to continue it - and she actually did for 3 days, along with quite a bit of Ativan, and finally said enough is enough! SHe gave it the 4 days cause she is new med phobic and was afraid some of her "side effects" were from her fear of having side effects (anxiety can do that to us for sure). They changed her to Wellbutrin and she is doing great now.

ALmost all meds give up some nasty side effects when we start them, but WE have a right to decide whether we want to continue feeling 1000 times worse for a week or so ! From what you describe, I know I would not take another dose - even though I know many who take it and the side effects went away and they are glad they stuck it out. I am sorry it made you feel so bad, and hope they can find another medication that will not give you such side effects !
