Possible Trigger Warning!!!
I've been on Lexapro for a week now and have suffered with sickness, shaking, headaches, yawning. The sickness has decreased but I'm concerned because I have days where I feel fine then I get this out of the blue horrible feeling of doom hit me and I feel very depressed and emotional and basically suicidal. My doctor prescribed me Valium to calm me, which has made me feel like a zombie but appears to be working. The thing I'm afraid of though is that when I am no longer on the Valium the horrible thoughts will just come rushing back. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did it go away? |

I know a lot of meds have some scary side effects. I personally have not been on lexapro but I have had adverse side effects from Seroquel. I know that it is recommended to give 4-6 weeks while waiting for a new medication to have full effects. You did the right thing by speaking to your doc about the side effects. If in 4-6 weeks you are still having these side effects, it might be worth it to talk to you doctor about switching your meds. I hope this helps and best of luck!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
