Does anybody take Lexapro?!
Question: Does anybody take Lexapro.?
I was wondering if anybody is on Lexapro 10mg.? I just started taking it today and it is making me really sick. I know I have to give it a chance and get use to it. I'm having diarrhea, migraine, loss of appetite, I'm nauseaus and feel like throwing up. I am willing to wait it out if I'm sure this will pass. I've already lost alot of weight because of anxiety, I don't want to lose more because of the medication that causes anxiety! Health Question & Answer
Answers:
You might talk with your doctor, and have them change your dose to 5 mg (the smallest dose they make of Lexapro), and take that for a couple weeks before going back to the 10 mg dose.
That'll wean you onto the Lexapro more gradually - and hopefully reduce or eliminate the start-up symptoms you're having.
Best of Luck to you :-)

I took it for 3 days(10 mg) and it made me nuts. I took it for anxiety and panic disorder and it made it a million times worse, i ended up having to go into the hospital for a week and I still haven't fully recovered. It made me not want to eat at all, the smell of food made me want to puke. It also made me really tired.Health Question & Answer
I am on it and it made me sleepy at first. I guess it has different side effects for everyone. I would give it another week and if it continues, call your doctor. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
