In reply to Am NOT liking Lexapro! Help!, posted by CJ Nightowl on April 14, 2003, at 23:48:22
Hello CJ. I am taking Fluoxetine (generic Prozac) and doing okay. I use to take Lexapro, and although it is a good med. it wasn't right for me. I was also told that Prozac is very activating, but I did not experience any side effect other than the initial drowsiness. This side effect is almost completely gone after a month.
May I ask why you discontinued Celexa?
God Bless
> 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!!
