Steven Hill3 said:Quick question: has anyone here dealt with Lexapro before? Does it mess with your focus at all?
So, I just got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My psychiatrist put me on 10 mg of Lexapro every morning, plus half a Xanax when things get really intense... Since my finals are coming up at the end of August, I'm wondering if these meds will have any major side effects. Just trying to prep for whatever comes my way! Also—how long does it actually take for the Lexapro to kick in? I read somewhere online that you might feel pretty lousy during the first week, but that it starts working after about three weeks—which would actually be perfect timing since that hits right during my most stressful stretch... That's basically everything I've gathered about Lexapro so far. If anyone else has some firsthand experience, please let me know 🙂
Angela Morgan4 said:I used to take one tablet every evening. For the first two weeks, I dealt with terrible insomnia and nausea, but eventually, the medication started to kick in. Once those side effects subsided, I increased my dosage to one and a half tablets and felt fine again, but now I am struggling once more—mentally speaking.🙄
Eric Jackson11 said:Why am I being treated like this at the pharmacy when I’m just trying to pick up a medication my specialist specifically prescribed for me?
Are they asking for too much personal information and stuff like that?
I’ve been going back and forth with them over the dosage they have on file. Does anyone know how I can resolve this...
Has anyone else dealing with insomnia run into these kinds of hurdles?

Daniel Rogers50 said:I’ve been on Zeldox for five years now, and I’ve put on about 65 pounds in that time—which I guess is a "win" considering when I was on Zyprexa a decade ago, I packed on that same amount of weight in just six months. The only real nightmare is this side effect that kicked in about a year and a half ago where my muscles started seizing up, specifically in my hands and knuckles, so they put me on Cogentin to deal with the stiffness.
Right now, I’m taking 20mg, once in the morning and once at night, along with half a dose of Cogentin.
But honestly, there are no rules when it comes to psych meds; one person handles them fine while someone else gets absolutely wrecked by them. Everyone reacts differently. Back when I was on Zyprexa, I felt so bloated I looked like I’d been stung by a swarm of bees, and I had this relentless, unstoppable craving for sugar. I just couldn't stop eating. It was awful.

What kind of experience should I be bracing myself for? 🙂
