I started on 10mg and continued to have anxiety so the dosage was increased. I take it at night and have found that it helps me sleep. When I don't take it, (if I miss my dose) I have difficulty sleeping. I feel so tired all the time that I don't have the energy to do basic every day household tasks. Then I feel guilty for being lazy. I have to take a nap every day. I also have difficulty remembering things and feel scatterbrained. I will think of something that I need to do and less than a minute later I have forgotten what it was that I needed to do. I have a Dr.'s appt. soon and I will share this with my doctor. I would like to try a different antidepressant because the loss of motivation and being tired all the time is making me feel lazy, worthless, and almost as depressed as before I started taking it. with this side effects: Lack of motivation, VERY TIRED all the time, memory loss-feel scatter brained<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>['Lack of motivation', 'VERY TIRED all the time', 'memory loss', 'feel scatter brained', "don't have the energy ", 'feel guilty', 'lazy', 'take a nap every day', 'difficulty remembering things', 'feel scatterbrained', 'less than a minute later I have forgotten', 'loss of motivation', 'being tired all the time ', 'feel lazy', 'worthless']<|eot_id|>

The main issue I have is that over a period of several months, it loses its effectiveness. I often wonder whether these medications "pooping out" for about 30% of people is a clue to the underlying biological cause of depression. Ultimately, I'd like to find others that work so I can switch between them when one stops working. However, I'm yet to find another one that works. with this side effects: Mild constipation, difficulty maintaining an erection and delayed orgasm.

I didn't realize how bad my depression was until looking back on it--I wasn't motivated to do anything, had paranoid delusions, was always achy and unwell, and was just generally unhappy. I started Cymbalta after finally dragging myself to the doctor at my mother's insistence, beginning on 30mg for one week and moving up to 60mg. I noticed a difference within the first week. Now, it's an incredible change; I feel like I'm a *person* again. I have been experiencing insomnia due to it, but with 25mg of Trazodone, that's evened out wonderfully. I'm so happy with this medicine! with this side effects: Insomnia, decreased appetite (though that's a good thing in my case; the depression had me overeating).<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>['insomnia', 'decreased appetite', 'insomnia']<|eot_id|>

The psychiatrist prescribed Lexapro because I was also having severe mood swings and rage along with the depression, completely stressed out and unhappy. He started me on 10 mg per day, and I can honestly say that I feel better than I have ever felt in my life. Crises are quickly put into perspective, I feel hopeful and happy and content, the kids' antics don't wig me out like they used to. The fact that I am sleeping better, too, is a bonus, because I was having a terrible time sleeping more than three hours at a time and spent a couple of hours each night tossing and turning. Not anymore! I love it! I am so happy to have finally found something that is working for me. with this side effects: Bad: Nauseated and jittery for the first few days, like a sugar crash or a caffeine high. Good: I am sleeping like a baby for the first time in years. I wake up feeling refreshed and rested, almost instantly alert. If I am sleepy at all the next day, it is because I was unable (due to my schedule) to get a full eight hours' sleep, not because of the Lexapro.

I stopped after the 2nd day, but restarted on day 4 with half a pill (5mg). Day 6 I went to 10mg. The side effects were severe, but diminished as time passed, and have become tolerable within 2-3 months. For me it became a question of balance: Lexapro side effects vs. depression and its side effects. After 1 1/2 years on Lexapro, I believe that it has a very short shelf life, less than 30 days, and is extremely sensitive to temperature/humidity fluctuations & extremes. Every month, when I'm down to my last 3-8 pills of my supply, I notice that I get depressed often and have sudden mood swings. This is consistent every month. When I start a 'new' 30 day batch of pills, I go through minor side effects for a few days. I'm a stay-at-hme-dad of toddler & infant and am glad that I'm not depressed with anxiety while raising them. That said, I can't wait until I'm ready to stop.

After a few months, I started to notice it was making me become somewhat bipolar - on it, I was annoyingly happy and jumpy, but after two hours of taking it, I felt the same, and after two more hours, I was extremely depressed. I had also noticed that it took more to hold my attention than it used to, and I couldn't remember things that happened or stuff people said five minutes before. A little after I began noticing this, I started stuttering, and my stutter got worse as I kept taking the medicine, as did all my other side effects. Sometimes when talking, I would stutter, and forget what I was saying. I decided I was going to stop taking it, so I did. Wow. My memory loss worsened, as did my stutter, attention span, and depression. One day, after a weekend of not having it, I couldn't get out of bed because I felt so bad.

Very vivid, weird dreams, occasional nightmares every night for about 2 months. Dialated pupils after a few weeks of taking, to the point of blurred vision. Gone after 2 weeks.

Suffered from sporadic depression/anxiety for over 20 years, and had been in and out of counseling for about 18 years before trying lexapro. I had previously taken prozac and valium and had horrible experiences with both, so was hesitant about trying medication again. Life had literally gotten unbearable, so about two years ago, I decided to try counseling once again coupled with medication. I found a terrific counselor who prescribed me lexapro after informing her of my previous experiences with prozac and valium. I am now able to live a normal life. I had to give it time to work and find the correct dosage for it to be effective.

I've always had bouts of depression, I have a history of major anxiety to the point of it being physically painful, and developed OCD over time. When I switched to nights I became a complete mess. I could not even lift my head up because of how depressed I felt, and it scared me. I asked my PNP to give me zoloft, after thinking long and hard. I was extremely skeptical and afraid to take it, terrified to say the least, because I had a horrible reaction to a few other anti-Ds. After having it on my nightstand for about a week, I finally started taking the first weeks 25mg and then upped it to 50mg the following week, which I am on now. I must say that I noticed a dramatic difference- I'm always tired because of night shift, but I feel NO depression. I find myself able to fully concentrate, despite the slight dizziness and brainfog it gives. I stated I feel apathy, but I believe its because I feel apathy towards things that used to make me sad and depressed, and anxious. As far as my OCD, I have less trouble dealing with my intrusive thoughts and am not a nervous wreck following my episodes. Even though I feel slightly numbed out, I notice I'm more relaxed than I have ever been-the brainfog does not interefere with my patient care and safety.

I did go off for a month and the inappropriate anger came right back so now I'm thinking of switching to another SSRI that doesn't cause back pain, cysts and itching, not to mention wanting to sleep 13 hours a night. with this side effects: At first, all the usual (dry mouth, dry eyes, tight jaw, dizziness, stoned feeling, nausea) but they went away after a month. Then after a few months, more serious effects that I now believe were from the Lexapro started, like all-over itching and severe middle back pain, especially at night and upon waking in AM. When I reduced dose from 20 mg to 10, both completely went away. Now I have terrible acne and infected cysts under one arm and might go off it all together to see if connected.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>['went away after a month', 'went away after a month', 'went away after a month', 'went away after a month', 'stoned feeling, went away after a month', 'went away after a month', 'all-over itching', 'severe middle back pain', 'terrible acne', 'infected cysts under one arm', 'back pain', 'cysts', 'itching', 'sleep 13 hours ']<|eot_id|>

I stoped hating myself, and depression subsided. Yet i had vivid nightmares that were really horrible and i started to get night sweats real bad. showering at night became useless. after a while though 150 started to lose its effectiveness and subsequently i got moved up to 225. now i feel like an emotional wall. i am happy though which has never been the case. It comes at a price though; nothing penetrates the surface, i don't care really about anyone for more then a minute. music doesn't sound as good. i still have anxiety; no panic attacks. NO libido, fo anything/anyone. nightmores have subsided. The real problem is the withdrawel. within a few hours of missing a dose i start to feel weird. within 24 its an all out acid t with this side effects: vivid nightmares, night sweats, loss of libido, other sexual dysfunctions, horrible withdrawel symptons, very little emotions regarding sinificant others, still have sleeping problems but i don't think effexor made it worse..<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>['very little emotions regarding sinificant others', 'numb in my face and hands', 'vivid nightmares', 'night sweats', 'loss of libido', 'sexual dysfunction', 'numb in my face', 'face and hands with tingles ', 'vivid nightmares', 'night sweats real bad', 'emotional wall', 'NO libido']<|eot_id|>

It helped keep migraines at bay and I had tolerable, minimal side effects. But getting off of this drug is really nasty. I had to d/c my meds a few days before a neck myelogram and had a very bad reaction to the lack of Effexor in my system. My pain increased tremendously and I was a basket case emotionally with crying, etc. I had to go back on the Effexor and make an appointment with my prescriber to find something to cover me for when I have the myelogram. I had the "typical" brain zaps and odd brain feeling, dizziness, anxiety. I would love to d/c this drug forever once my neck problems have been taken care of. with this side effects: I was initially on Effexor and slowly got up to 100 mg a day. Was on this for several years, had back surgery and wanted to quit Effexor because I was no longer depressed or in pain. Withdrawal was very, very difficult as many here state. I ended up staying on a maintenance dose of half of a 37.5 mg tablet. After a year or so on this I had more spinal problems and related nerve pain. Upped the Effexor to 75 mg without much pain relief. I now switched to XR 150 mg for the past six months. I have lots of neck problems (DDD, herniation, stenosis, etc) so I thought the severe pain in my hands and arms was the result of that. HOwever, in thinking about when the pain increased, I realized that it coincided with my switch to a higher dose and XR. To compound the problem, I was put on Diovan 160 mg for high blood pressure at the same time. So I don't really know if the increase in pain is related only to the Effexor XR or Diovan also.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>['neck problems (DDD, herniation, stenosis, etc)', 'severe pain in my hands and arms', 'severe pain in my hands and arms', 'more spinal problems', 'nerve pain', 'DDD', 'herniation', 'stenosis', 'brain zaps', 'odd brain feeling', 'dizziness', 'anxiety']<|eot_id|>

I felt like it wasn't working well for me anymore so about 10 years ago, I was switched to Lexapro. Over the 10 years, it has done a great job at lowering my anxiety and evening me out. I worried less about things and was able to cope with issues and problems much better. Overall, I felt much better. But after 10 years of taking it, I feel like my brain has become dull and numb. It has become difficult to concentrate on anything or to get motivated to do anything. It has started to affect my job as there are days I just sit and stare at my computer and don't feel like doing anything and just can not think. I seem to be tired and unmotivated to do anything anymore. Even things at home that I used to find enjoyable before. Think maybe it is time for a change in meds. with this side effects: Low sex drive and trouble ejaculating. Increased craving for alcohol. Overall feelling of "numb brain" as I call it. Trouble concentrating. Poor short term memory.

Basically I anise these tablets no end and take up to 800-1000mg hence all the side effects, but because I abused them so heavily at the start a normal dose now gives me withdrawal which gives all the above side effects. So they work just don't abuse them or get blinding drunk as trying to kill yourself happens. with this side effects: No appetite I went 3 days without eating and didn't realise until my partner was ramming a sandwich down me, now just a smaller appetite and still forget to eat. Blurred vision, diarrhoea, nausea, heart burn, hyper/wired can stay awake for 48hrs so have to take a sedative to sleep, insomnia, brain zaps/waves like vertigo but whilst sitting, speech problems and speech block, memory loss, suicidal thoughts with one attempt, dry mouth, involuntary movements like jerking.

I went along hoping against hope that the panic attack I had one day would be the last one. I would go along a few days without one and then be so disappointed to have another one. I was having a lot of these while driving and I was beginning to avoid driving to prevent them. It was getting quite debilitating because my work requires driving to different places at times. Now, for the 10 months I've been taking Lexapro, I've only had three instances where I could feel myself going into a panic attack - this is a huge decrease. This Lexapro treatment has at least allowed me to continue driving and going to work. Without it, I would be a mess right now. Most of the odd side effects went away the first few weeks after I started taking it. The remaining side effects - weight gain and sleepiness - I'm in the process right now of deciding whether or not I want to live with them. The alternative right now would be having the weekly panic attacks again which I am in no mood to continue. I also notice not worrying so much anymore about things - I used to worry about everything. Problems don't seem so overwhelming. I also have noticed that I don't get so upset and rattled by other people's rudeness or nasty comments anymore. I'm more likely to just shrug them off and go on my merry way. with this side effects: First two weeks but disappeared shortly afterwards - increase in anxiety, weird floating feeling, sweaty palms, nausea, heartburn, waking up in middle of night for no reason, sexual performance issues. Side effects after first four months - weight gain, yawning fits, daytime sleepiness.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>['increase in anxiety', 'weird floating feeling', 'sweaty palms', 'nausea', 'heartburn', 'waking up in middle of night ', 'sexual performance issues', 'weight gain', 'yawning', 'daytime sleepiness', 'weight gain', 'sleepiness']<|eot_id|>
