>If this is the case, why use a drug that increases serotonergic tone throughout the entire body (as SSRIs do) to treat IBS? Can someone explain?
---------------There are multiple serotonin receptors, and I'm not sure that most SSRIs affect the same receptors in the intestine as they do in the brain. You're on to something, though. I have IBS and noticed that if I took 5-HTP supplements (the raw ingredient for serotonin), it would send my gut into a tailspin. Taking Celexa, however, has the opposite effect. Things calm down. I think that there is a difference between the functionality of serotonin in the two areas, with 5-HT1a receptors in the brain serving to put the brakes on things, so to speak, which consequently calms intestinal peristalsis.
I may be wrong or overly simple, but that's my understanding.

> I was prescribed 10 mg's a day for sleeplessness (due to anxiety). I liked it at first, but am now considering getting off of it... as the side effects may not be worth it. Anyone know if its okay to just stop taking it? If so, I have 30 pills for sale, cheap. lol.
NO, I would not advise "cold turkey" either, SE's!!!
One question, though, how long have you been taking it? If the answer is 3 weeks or less, the SE's you are experiencing WILL GO AWAY. Many people on this board have found that once you get through the first couple of weeks, things get much easier, and many have had GOOD results, myself included, with fight w/depression.
Best of luck to you~~~8|8

I have the red blemishes too. I was wondering what they were. a couple on my shoulders, one on my torso and one tiny one on my forehead (I don't think it's a zit). I take 2.5 mg a day (steady hands with the razor).

I am starting to question myself on whether I should
have made the change in my meds. I was taking the
Lex for about 3 months and didn't really see that
much of a difference, just a bit. I have been
weaning off of the Lex and starting Zoloft. After
reading the many posts on here, I am wondering if I
should have waited longer. Any input on Zoloft vs.
Lexapro? The doctor had prescribed both for my
anti-social anxiety and Wellbutrin for depression.

I've been on Lexapro for about 4 months. I am also on birth control pills and I have noticed in the last 3 months that my period is almost nonexistant. This month I didn't even have to wear anything. I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this. Thanks!

The same think happened to me. Instead of the normal
time span, it was like 45 days and not that much of
one even then. Talk about freaking out LOL. I have
read other post that others have experienced the same SE.

It is nice to find you all here. no one else I know is on lexapro.
I am experiencing strange bumps on my neck and chin, but my period has just begun and i tend to break out slightly this time of month. It just seems heavier this time.
I've only been on Lexapro for one week. I feel a little amped up at midday then sleepy earlier in the evenings than I am used to. However, i appreciate the benefit of getting more sleep and not going to bed so worried and anxious.
My appetite has definitely decreased.
I want this drug to work and I hope to stay on it. any and all news and support will be greatly appreciated.

I have been on lexapro for three months. I wish I could say I'm sleeping well. I may just need more time to be adjusted.I am also noticing syst-like bumps on my chin and neck. What the heck. Is this a side effect?
Anyone else?

So, you're thinking that the SSRIs quell IBS symptoms by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain, and not necessarily by affecting the serotonin receptors in the intestines? This stuff is so complicated. did you read the link I left to the .pdf file about serotonin receptors? If you go to page 6, and read the bottom of the section talking about 5HT-4 receptors it mentions using a 5HT-4 antagonist for IBS. This would affect things more in the gut, I think, and less in the brain. I wonder if any pharmaceutical companies are working on a drug like this? Anyway, it's all very interesting stuff, but confusing nevertheless.MB

Eleanor, I'm currently on 10mg Lexapro for two weeks now and have indeed noticed subdermal bumps on my chin and a decrease in appetite among many other unexpected and unpleasant SE's. I don't usually have break outs...a bonus, I suppose. I'm only two weeks in so I can't speak to menstrual SE's yet. There's no rhyme or reason here, mood-wise: mostly tweaked, sometimes way down. Xanax not doing the trick to help with anxiety. I had to ask my boyfriend if I seemed "okay" in mixed company. It's so bad in my head that I can't tell anymore. I know you didn't ask for all this information, so I'll stop before I go too far. It's early days yet, yet. I know that. We just have to be patient. Let's keep each other posted, yes? -Bina

Bina: Many thanks. I take really good care of my skin and never break out. So, it helps to know that this is part of the deal. I also see that I have to cut back on coffee in the morning to keep from being jittery by noon. Then again, none of these things are as bad as the crushing depression was! I'm not even as far into this treatment as you, but I'm feeling very optimistic. I feel like help is on the way and I'm just being very gentle with myself right now. I'm so glad to not be experiencing jaw clenching or painful headaches. Do stay in touch and let me know how you're feeling. I'm going to try skin masks and other facial products. If the bumps continue to bother me, I might see a dermatologist. For now, I'm just glad to see the fog lifting. Oh...I have Atavan for the anxiety and I have only taken it twice. So far, so good.
I wish you the best and look forward to hearing from you.

What is the effect of switching from celexa to lexapro for someone who already is experiencing frequent tachycardia (and is taking klonopin for this) and dizziness? Is the switch likely to make these symptoms better or worse? Also, curious to know about impact on sexual dysfunction. Currently experiencing some on celexa...
Thanks.

For me the switch to Lex from Celexa did not help sexual side effects. It increased tachycardia. I had to stop Lex. But I didn't go back to Celexa. Believe it or not I feel much better on just Klonopin. I care about life more now too. I was becoming too apathetic and down on myself for being so fatigued all the time.

hi Mysterious42,
thank you for your post and welcome to pBabble's lexapro thread ... ... i have been helped a lot by the folks on these message boards.
you have written:
> What is the effect of switching from celexa to lexapro for someone who already is experiencing frequent tachycardia (and is taking klonopin for this) and dizziness? Is the switch likely to make these symptoms better or worse? Also, curious to know about impact on sexual dysfunction. Currently experiencing some on celexa...
> Thanks.
>i have never taken celexa nor any AD other than lexapro, BUT ...
(disclaimer: Therefore EVERYTHING i write about this comes from reading this thread ...
...... (and i would not have made it without the information and support i received here.))...but there have been many reports about folks trying to make transition(s) from one SSRI to lex ...
and of the ones trying to go from celexa, ... several (a lot?) have not been able to tolerate lex, in the way that JaneB tells us about ...then there are folks like Bill L, who cruise straight from celexa to lexapro without any problems ... these would seem, admittedly, to be more rare ...
... but it is not unreasonable to assume that may be some success stories which would never post their experiences here because they would never have the need .... who knows?
... but your short-term lexapro user is going to have (typically) your adaptation syndrome SEs, which potentially could be almost anything and could be of almost any serverity .... BUT which (TYPICALLY) fade away to nothing in from 4 to maybe 6 or 7 weeks ... while the therapuetic benefits can take from as much as 8 weeks to be effective ...
(TMI? .... sorry: blkvettes says that i like to give all the details ..... blkvettes is being kind)
as for sexual SEs: the most common sexual SE is anorgasmia .... both guys and gals have complained about this one .... i have had anorgasmia when i 1st began lex and then later when i went from 5mg to 10mg ... the good news: it only lasted a week and has gone away *completely* .... i have since asked several times if any one has experienced the beneficial sexual SE (that i have) since recovering from the initial lex SEs, but i don't think anyone needs to hear about this if they are still struggling to just survive SEs to get to lex's benefits.
(now way TMI? ... i'll try to quit)
more good news: i have read few (very few) posts about other sexual SEs: erectile dysfunction or loss of libido, EXCEPT when folks are on constellations of meds for specific symptoms, such as ... anxiety disorders, OCD, panic attacks.
and, Mysterious, this may be you (?)... your tachycardia and dizziness along with the klonopin Sound like your fighting the anxiety fight ... ... i would *SPECULATE* that the short term (initial SEs) would tend to make these kind of symptoms worse AT FIRST ... ... then (a number ? of weeks) we should be able to expect the relief to begin, if not sooner.
there are a fortunate number of folks, like me, who have done very well with lex (Hi, Mariposa!), some of whom have toughed it out through long and intense initial SEs, only to recover really well.
i have been in lex 3 months, the 1st month 5mg and last 2 at 10mg .... only a week of SEs with no on-going side-effects ... ... i have been diagnosed with depression and i definitely feel much better now.
(TMI, jim!!!)
sorry my reply has been so long .... i only hope it is some help to you .. ... .. i try to repay the support that i have received here by trying to help others ... ... dr. bob's web space has been immensely beneficial to me
i hope you can get some relief from your suffering,
and please do keep us posted on your progress.
thanks
and
TAKE CARE !!!!

> LIL Jimi, Thanks much for the encouraging words! I also have a theory that alcohol use/abuse may be the reason that so many of the AD's I've tried, pooped-out. While we are all aware of the depressant effects of alcohol, it was hard to learn that I was just negating the effects of the AD's. For me, something in the Lex seems to have replaced the craving and it (beer) does not even taste good to me anymore. I have had a few in the last six months but it didn't do what I remember it doing for me so why bother (and all those extra calories!) <grin> As a friend of mine said to me "you've probably drunk your share." And I guess I have!!!
> I'll keep you posted about the increase in Lex. Shrink seemed to want to add bi-polar to my dx and maybe some Lithium, but am keeping a mood diary for her. I sure haven't felt "real good" like the mania end of it so I am not ready to accept that yet.

so ... how's the new pdoc working out for you? ... i guess you haven't seen him (her?) since the 12th yet .... ... how's 20mg treating you? ... a week too soon to tell? ... .. when will the mood diary decide if you're bp? ... .... and the lithium?
.... and the change in your independence?by the bye, i'm 52 (you are not that much older than me, "old"hand) and i lost my folks last summer about this time ... lex has helped me a lot ... sorting it all out ... ... we're getting there .

What's worked for me with med-induced nausea (and other types of nausea for that matter) is chewing on ginger root or drinking authentic ginger ale. These remedies have long been used for this, and are very effective.
Also quite effective are teas made from lavender, aniseed, or chamomile. If you're into aromatherapy, I have dozens of other suggestions. Good luck. :-)

hi jackie,
i am so sorry you're having such a rough time ... i, along with everyone else here, continue to pull for you ... ... and wish you well ... and pray.
> Hello everyone, I'm at day 31, one week ago, I increased my dose from 10 to 15mg. This morning I woke up nauseous, and then threw up. This is the second episode.

i want to thank Ame san Vie for her useful suggestions .... much better than than my lame cheerleading when you're fighting nausea .... i haven't suffered nausea from lex.
do try to protect yourself from nausea-induced dehydration ... ... avoiding dehydration is for our overall health, but dehydration is even worse for making SEs worse including perpetuating more nausea ... ... as well as subverting your electrolytes, which can then undermine your neurotransmitters ... .... all of which conspire to make a bad situation even worse .... so try to drink as much as you can without ... you get the picture.
and of course this nausea is trying to force you to face the bigger issue here:
"Should Jackie quit Lexapro?"
(knowing you are a good mom, it is even more discouraging to feel wretched AND crazed AND need and want to care for your 2 and 8 yr-olds and your other family/home responsibilities ... AND then to have puking added to the other SEs you're suffering .... i really feel for you "zombieMommie"!)
my prejudice is that i want to tell you to not quit ... ... that's my mission .. ... i'll not hide my agenda nor pull my punches here ... ... my cards are face up
(.... because i couldn't fool you if i wanted to ... ... you know me ... lil' jimi, one of our pro-lex poster children ...)
.... even so, this could be the beginning of the end for lex for you ... ... .. seems like i read here that one guy went 10 weeks with nausea everyday before he had to give up ... ... no one should have to endure that .. ... i couldn't ... wouldn't.... .... and it is not impossible that you have begun down that path ... ... this is where i begin doing my praying for you ... ...
... that lex may be kinder to you than it was for him ... .....{isn't this the most discouraging way to be ... encouraging, Jim?) ... sorry: new tune
given that we may expect it is more than just possible that the nausea may pass by tomorrow or the next day (??), and given the your current not inconsiderable investment in enduring the initial SEs so far, continuing lexapro for the short term makes sense ... ... at least for a day or two?
(occurs to me that it may make sense, what with the sensitivity you're experiencing, to try increasing your doseage much more slowly: maybe 12.5mg for a week; 15mg the next week; then maybe 17.5mg ... ... ... you should certainly discuss this with your doc, who might offer some other treatment for your nausea ... ... couldn't hurt to give the pharmacist a call, see what they have to suggest, too.)
my last agrument for hanging in there with the lex: .... to avoid withdrawals, you will have to decrease your doseage slowly and then you're faced with going through something like this ... ...all over again ... ... with some different med, which will come with all of its own problems.
jackie, i just don't feel like this has been as good at supporting you as i wanted ..... sorry ..... please keep us as informed as .... you can ...
... and see if you can try that ginger, Ame suggested!TAKE CARE !!!!
