Hi all,
I took my first dose of Lexapro 10mg yesterday night (for anxiety and fibro) and I could not sleep whole night. As soon as I closed my eyes, random thoughts kept coming. and also in the morning I had stomach pain, slightly blurry eyes. I am not sure whether I continue taking it and these side effects will settle down in a few days or I stop it. I have high anxiety and had my first panic attack few days back.
Appreciate your feedback........
Hate Lexapro. I was always hungry and had to stop taking it due to extreme weight gain. As soon as I got off I was no longer hungry and eating all the time. That was my only side effect.
i have been on lexapro for about 4 yrs now and find it helps me sleep along with my lovastatin. I also take a zyrtec before bed to keep my itching from being too bad. I cant tell if i have had any side effects from it since i also have diverticulosis and a mild colitis.
