I work full time and I have a husband and 3 children. I started taking the Lexapro at night two nights ago and I got crazy anxiety in the middle of the night and I was very restless. The next morning and throughout the entire day I feel drowsy not as bad as when I took it in the AM but enough to...

			<description><![CDATA[
It was my first time taking medication like this and I thought I could cheat the whole month and take it whenever I felt like I needed it. I took it only 10 times this month and I&#039;ve had many breakdowns, but I thought it was normal. I&#039;m deciding to stop now, but I&#039;m afraid because I&#039;ve only had a total of probably 3 hours of sleep for the past 3-4 nights. It&#039;s 2 am right now, and I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll be sleeping. Should I go to the hospital and get checked out?

She has been getting if flavored with bubblegum flavor since she started this medicine. Today I had two different pharmacies tell me they cannot use bubblegum flavor because it is not compatible with the medicine because it may cause the medicine may be less effective or may just taste bad. My daughter has a hard time with flavors/taste. She also has a difficult time swallowing pills which why she is taking the liquid. My question is there any pharmacy that will provide this medicine with the...

My primary care doctor just prescribed escitalopram. I have not yet been to a psychiatrist. My medical insurance will not cover that, but I will have to pay out of pocket. I tried a therapist once a week, but it was not of any help with my panic attacks. Is this something I would see a psychiatrist about? In self diagnosing, I believe I do have a subtle but significant issue with OCD.

I am contemplating going back on fluoxetine after being off of it for a little over a year. When I went off Fluox (40mg) I started taking Lexapro (escitalopram 20mg). Just wondering about side effects and effectiveness when starting back up. I experienced some side effects for the first couple of weeks when I began the fluoxetine. I was on Fluox for about 5 years before I switched... I made the switch because it seemed to lose its effect for me. I stopped taking the Lexapro because I...

I have been taking escitalopram oxalate 20mg for 2 months now and can definitely say it has been of the most therapeutic benefit to me, however I am looking to stop the medication or lower the dose potentially for month or so in order to assess its effectiveness at the lower range. For me taking antidepressants is a very very challenging thing, a lot of people do suddenly stop them without seeking advice from a doctor and I&#039;ve done this a lot... I am a naturally indecisive person but I was...

			<title>Does escitalopram 10 percent cause persistent headaches? How do I stop the headaches?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I just started taking escitalopram 10 percent because of relationship stress. I am having persistent headaches in the front part of my head, usually beginning at night after four or five hours sleep. This has been about a week. I normally rarely have headaches and am active, sports, control my diet, and am in good health at 71 years old. Appreciate your advice whether I should reduce, stop or change this medication for anxiety and stress in my life.

I have been on escitalopram for 3 weeks. I am aware of the side effects. I don&#039;t need to know what those are. I am wondering how I should feel on this RX. I can&#039;t say I am feeling any different yet. I know it could take some time, but can&#039;t tell if anything is different. I still feel down, nothing excites me or makes me feel &#34;happy&#34;. I&#039;m worried that I&#039;m un-fixable. Thanks in advance

I&#039;ve had general dizziness for nine months now. Started with feeling really tired in the mornings, then I was hit by BPPV which triggered strong vertigo at certain head movements, and general dizziness 24/7.

I have been on 5mg Cipralex (Escitalopram) for 2 years.I have recently changed the dose time to be taken at 09am every day instead if the night time. In the first week, I have mild euphoria and less sleepiness at work which is perfect for me, however, from the second week and forward, I noticed that I have a brain fog and less motivation but no depression or anxiety , I&#039;m wondering anybody have similar side effects, and whether it will goes away with time?
