Am NOT liking Lexapro! Help!

Posted by CJ Nightowl on April 14, 2003, at 23:48:22

Hello everyone,
I have been on Lex for 4 weeks now and just went up to 17 and a half mg. per day. My family was wondering why I was so irritable this past week and my daughter thought I was particularly negative. So I have up'd the dose by a quarter tab and of course now I have the headache that won't go away, the insomnia at night, the fatigue during the day and I am fed up!!
The best A/D I ever experienced emotionally speaking was Zoloft. Unfortunately, it did a real number on my intestines and sex life. Oh yeah, the Lex also has me feeling like sex is totally unnecessary, which makes my husband REAL happy that I switched from Celexa to Lexapro!
I am thinking of trying Prozac, but have heard that it has a stimulating effect on some people. Would that mean I could not take Adderall with it? Does it also mean that the insomnia would remain as well?
What does everybody else take for the sexual s/e and the insomnia?
I also have Fibromyalgia and Hep-C, so it is important that I get restorative sleep and not over load my liver.
Suggestions please!!
CJ
