Lexapro 20 mg is making me bounce off the wall so I am afraid to take anymore I could so easily jump through my Glass Doors the way I am feeling right now. I can't sleep whatsoever and the doctors office is closed for the weekend now what do I do? I just can't win I feel worse not better because I wanna lean up against a wall and bang my head and thats not good at all. I will stop the meds till Monday and walk in there and let him know there is no way I am taking this not even half a dose anymore the meds the Hospital gave me worked alot better then these do and thats Lorazepam 1MG MYL I would not recommend Lexapro to anyone ever!!!!! I am so ready to Scream right now :(

I take Paxil 20 mg daily and Lorazepam when I need it. I also take Flexeril at night so I can sleep. I only take the lorazepam during the day when I am having an extra hard time.
I worry about you and I pray that your pain is eased to where you can manage and not feel like a basket case. My anniversary is coming up on the 9th of July. I am already feeling anxious and have taken more lorazepam.
I know you will get through this and that it will take time. Please email me and we can chat on one of the IMs.

Those drugs can be 'zoo-ey". I've always found it helpful to discuss these kind of overeactions to medications -- or any other like concerns -- with my psychiatrist who prescribed them. Often, adjustments or changes in medication are needed to find what works best for you. I went through a few changes in my medication types until we found what worked best for me.

By the way, don't yell at the physician. This is all part of the process of finding out what works for you. And don't stop taking your meds before you see him. If you're really being bothered and can't stand it another minute, call him and ask him about whether or not to go off it. Suddenly stopping taking your meds can really affect you, too, and can sometimes mean that the track toward feeling better may take longer.

trust me I don't need these its not working it has me bouncing and wide awake an adjustment will not help me because I am having sweats so bad that I feel like pulling my hair out and my head is whooshing inside like 100 people talking to me at once and I can't understand them. Overeation? no sorry this is not the pill for me I feel like I am really gonna lose it worse then before. I have some of my other meds I will take them instead.

These antidepresants react differently on everyone. Stop taking them and if you really feel like you're having a reaction don't let the holiday stop you from going to the emergency room or call you're doctor's answering service. Sharon

Call your doctor or pharmacist for advise. I hope you feel better soon. Lay down and meditate or just focus on breathing really slow. Debbie

He wrote me out a prescription for Lorazepam said the reaction I was having could have made me alot worse and he was sorry. I told him I didn't blame him he was trying to help me and he wrote me out a script for Flexeril for at night. I am feeling alittle better now and alot better then last night I thought I was gonna die as bad as it got. Never in my life had I ever experienced hearing voices that was wacked out and not me at all.
