I Just took my first Lexapro pill yesterday and ive been on implanon for about 3 months. Im scared if i do anything i will get pregnant.

I’m on an antidepressant Lexapro for my anxiety.

My doctor put me on samples, and about almost two months ago or a month ago, he gave me more samples. It looks like a tiny book and when you open it, there is the small medication inside.

So what happens after this when I go back to see him?

Will he start giving me more of the starting kit or will he give me the Lexapro inside an orange medicine bottle?

Does this mean he will start perscribing it to me?

I’m so scared.

I’ve been weak, lightheaded, and dizzy from anxiety which is causing me issues at work, and when I got out in public. Plus, I can’t stop thinking about how I’m going to fix myself. Just wondering if Lexapro helped your generalized anxiety disorder?

I am on lexapro. 10mg. And i don’t think it is helping. I feel nerves and hard time breathing but I’m fine. My heart rate is good and my blood pressure is normal. I feel like I’m going to stop breathing. I have a pain on my left below my should sometimes and I think I’m having. Heart attack but I’m not. Is this a panic attack? What can I do to relax and calm down?…

I reluctantly started taking Lexapro for anxiety, but now I feel very draggy and depressed for days at a time. I may have felt like this before and not noticed as much, I’m not sure. Can taking meds for anxiety make you feel depressed? I’ve been on it for about seven weeks.
I’m 28, so I’m not young.

My friend just took his regular amount of pills.
20mgs of lexapro 2mgs of xanax

and he’s spitting up blood, and has sharp pains in his chest.

What could be wrong?
He lives in a different state, and doesn’t have a phone.

I’m 20 & I’ve been taking Lexapro for anxiety. I’ve been taking it for about a month. The only side effects I’ve experienced were drowsiness & headaches. They’re not severe, but I was wondering if it’s normal? Other than that, I feel great.

I am 19 years old and weigh 140 pounds, can this Antidepressant Lexapro (Escitalopram) cause slowed thinking, mental fogginess, emotional-numbing, loss of interest in any activity, irritability, and other serious cognition problems? I am currently weening off the medicine, but I am almost certain Lexapro was the cause. Any ideas?

Anyone have any personal stories? Help me out. My friends and I were planning on doing Molly, a pure form of MDMA without any other drugs mixed in. I wanna know if it’s safe to mix the two, Molly and Lexapro.

I took 10 mg Lexapro once a day for four days. I stopped "cold turkey" due to side effects. It’s been two days off it yet I still feel side effects. I understand it has a long half-life, but I was wondering how long it’d take for the drug to clear my system completely after four 10 mg doses taken once daily.

I was told by my doctor that I have panic attacks. I am on lexapro and it dosn’t work to well it works when i am away from the house. My feeling when I am having a panic attack is like I can’t breathe scared or nerves that I am going to stop beathing or even hAve a heart attack… What ate some other ways I can dEal with this?…. Should I be worried that I’m gonna stop breathing? I’m only 15 this isn’t good….,?

OK..Please only answer if you have knowledge on this. I have severe panic and anxiety and the only relief I have found is through an antidepressant called Lexapro and an anti-anxiety med called Xanax. I only take .5 mg a day of the Xanax because I have a VERY stressful job and it gets me through the day. I have "wiened" myself from Lexapro entirely.
I am currently trying to get pregnant and have some known fertility issues. I am doing acupuncture and chinese herbs before going the specialist route to help me get pregnant. Will Xanax interefere with ovulation? Is there a safe alternative?

My family doctor has diagnosed me with depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I am taking Lexapro, and would like someone who understands my religious faith as well.
I live in Tucson, AZ and have not found a good therapist yet. It is very difficult to keep looking without being discouraged.

I have been on Lexapro for about 4 weeks now to stabilize my anxiety.
However I still feel stressed and more anxious.

I thought after being on Lexapro for a year that I might have found an answer, but now it isnt working and I think i need to change what i am on… which means weaning off this and building another one up, all side effects i mentally cant deal with without wanting to kill myself.. how do people deal with this?? Is there ever any peace?
