> Hello,
> I'm on this site for the first time ever - very interesting. I've been on Lex for 11 days and I've felt physically fine. The dose is pretty small (5mg) so maybe that's why I haven't noticed any side effects...until this morning. This is a little embarrassing but I would like to share this to see what people think... Last night I had to take a laxative (for obvious reasons) and this morning I thought I was going to die! I woke up with the normal reaction to a laxative, however, the pain was so bad and I was sweating worse then ever! Plus I started to feel like I was going to faint at the same time I was throwing up. After all was said and done I was perfectly fine, got dressed and came to work. I'm wondering if anybody thinks that was a reaction to taking both Lex and a laxative at the same time??? I called 2 pharmacies and neither could answer my question. Has anyone else had this experience? I know it may be a little more information than you'd want to share but I would appreciate any input! Thank you!


Something similar happened to me when I first started lexapro. But the lex does make me more constipated. Try a mild laxative and just a small dose when you take it. Just figure out how much you need when you have to take it!!!!!!
