> i REALLY do not like the way lexapro (5 mg a day - taken 2 x - day 3) is making me feel. i feel out of control also sort of home bound - i dread picking up my daughter at school - i feel like it is obvious i am on drugs so i want to hide!!- AND i couldnt go on my usual walk this morning b.c i feel too messed up and yesterday on my walk i got dizzy and thought i was going to faint and throw up from the lex. i would rather have anxiety and be my normal self. i feel like i drank gallons of theraflu yet still have anxiety....had to take 1/2 a .25 of xan. my pupils are dilated - a direct response to the lex. i couldn't sleep last night - know that is a normal SE but dont think the rest is normal for SEs - or is it?? i just dont think this is right. i feel awful.
Maddy,
I would call your dr and let them know this is going on. You're on a very low dose of lex and I don't think you should be having that strong of s/e's unless it's just not cooperating with you. Espescially if the xanax is not bringing you relief.
I'm going to look up my old posts from when I started lex and see if I had any of those effects. I remember the increased anxiety but xanex helped it...(((hugs)))
