Side effects of Lexapro?

So, I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with side effects from Lexoklar, specifically things like diarrhea or a loss of sensation in certain parts of the body? Like, you know, where you just lose feeling in an arm, a leg, or somewhere else entirely... Does that make sense? Also, has anyone experienced those weird tingling sensations running through their legs? I’ve heard stories about people actually losing their sense of smell or taste—or both—within just a few months of use. On top of that, I’ve been hearing quite a bit about Medazol having a ton of side effects related to the nervous system, which is what my private urologist mentioned to me. Personally, about a month after I stopped taking Lexoklar (I was on 500mg for three weeks), I started dealing with diarrhea. After that, my bladder sensitivity went haywire, along with general sensation around my penis. My urologist was pretty blunt about it, too—he basically said both Lexoklar and Medazol are toxic. I was originally prescribed the Lexoklar by an ENT to deal with some sinus issues.

Man, almost every antibiotic out there causes diarrhea, so that part is pretty standard...

Last year, I went through absolute hell with stomach pains after taking Levoclox. I ended up in the ER three different times before they finally admitted me to the hospital. They couldn't find anything major wrong, though they did suspect it might be IBS. 🤷 I had diarrhea for the entire course of the meds and kept dealing with it for another month afterward. 😕
I just finished a long stretch on Fromilid, which is also a macrolide, but it didn't wreck my system nearly as bad as the Levoclox did...
