I have been on 0.5 Lexapro for about 3-4 weeks. I did have nausea and upset stomach for the past weeks. At some point it starting getting better, but i see for the past 2 days the nausea started to be more present. Tomorrow i will also have to up the dose to 10mg and i am very scared it will get worse. Any advice from people who had this?
I take it for anxiety and panic attacks. I have issues will illness anxiety, i always this i have this and that, so the nausea is not help me at all.
Thanks, Andrei

Oh. And i forgot, i also have this bitter/metallic taste in my mouth like most of the time. Even the next day hours before taking the pill again. Is this something normal?

GrumpyPants; Yes I do agree with my friend here normally if you have been on this medication you would still have constant stomach problems and the metalic type taste I would try to continue and if you are not taking whis with a meal you should be it well not hurt the medication give that another week or two and if you are still having problems you should check with your doctor it could be as easy as a dose adjustment. good luck to YOU

Have you been consistently eating with taking the pill? You could have nausea that’s not related to the medicine also. I doubt it gets worse. It shouldn’t stick around either. However, I’ve noticed that with my medicines that after I get over the initial weeks of GI effects, they’ll occasionally reappear for like one day every few weeks. Then I wake up and it’s gone! I don’t know about the metallic taste

Hi.
I always take it after eating my lunch. I don't think it's related to food, as i eat very easy stuff. I don't smoke or drink, or other stuff. It's not very bad and it fades aways to light stage as the hours pass. I guess i am more worried about these things escalating to something worse...
