I have been on 10mg/day of lexapro for about 2 months now. The first week was rough - felt like I was going to jump out of my skin - very gittery, very jumpy, everything I did felt intensified. My doctor said this due to a servere lack of Seratonin in my system. Overall, I feel better now, but still get jumpy every so often and really have these medicine-like feelings flowing through my body. I tried to cut down to 5mg/day, but started to feel light-headed and dissassociated again (reason started taking it in the first place) so I went back to 10mg.
Anyone else have these feelings? Any suggestions on how to stop the medicine-like feeling? Thanks and good luck to you all.
