In reply to Hangover feeling.....strange anxious, posted by johnj on November 3, 2002, at 10:37:34
> I have been on lexapro (2.5 mg) for a few days. I have a headache, hangover feeling and some very different anxious feelings I have never had before. Does anyone have this? and did it go away at a certain dose. I am starting low to titrate up slowly since I am med sensistive. I have depression with anxiety/GAD type symptoms. I am wondering if it would be best to jump to 5 or 10 mg and ride this feeling out(if it does go away), I started low so my body would adjust slowly. Thanks
> johnjYou are on a very low dosage of Lexapro, you should consult with your physician about upping your dose so he or she can help you determine the correct dose or try something else.
This was from one of my previous posts:
I've switched to Lexapro from two years on Celexa. Celexa gave me dry mouth and headaches Lexapro does not! I am very very grateful for Lexapro and wouldn't want to live life without it.
To the people that post on the board, a question.... What is your life like without this drug, is it better or worse? Some of the SE I'd rather live with than live life without the replacement of the brain chemical I lack, namely seratonin. Of all the side effects people state on this board MOST are treatable, tolerable, and improve over time. Give it a chance! Some take weeks to months, NOT just one dosage, or a day, or a week. This is not a "make me feel better now" drug. Best wishes to everyone, and if this drug does NOT work for you please don't give up hope, but be persistent and try something else.
