I had them before I started taking lexapro
I had heard that lexapro can cause GI issues Should I be concerned? I've found myself sometimes taking Pepcid a while after my 10mg of lexapro at times |

Maybe, maybe not, we're all different but I had to stop Lexapro due to GI issues and worsening depression. I got severe pain in the upper right side of my abdomen behind my rib. It may get better as time goes on.

Unfortunately I haven't found a replacement. I have too many side effects on antidepressants. Although I did the best on Celexa. No GI issues what do ever...

Yes it's older than Lexapro but similar. Actually Lexapro is the "cleaned up" version of Celexa... But for me Celexa worked better.

I've taken Lexapro and had major GI issues and depression. For me, Prozac is much gentler.

I currently take 20 mg/day. I was at 60 but that did increase my depression. No GI issues though.

It's probably nothing, but whenever I hear someone say they're having. "Severe pain" I get concerned. Take care.

Yes I've seen primary care doc and multiple specialists, everything comes back normal.
Had my gallbladder tested twice and they looked for stones.
