> Hi everyone, Just started lexapro 4 days ago. Started with 5mgs. I take it at night. Gives me real bad headaches. Wake up feeling spacey and full of anxiety. Is anxiety a side effect of Lexapro? Does it go away? I was on Lexapro before and within 5 weeks I was feeling pretty good. I don't remember it making me anxious. Would appreciate any advice...
Hi, well I'm not the voice of experience on day 7 of lex, but I had bad headaches at the start. Took ibuprofen (2-200mg) and that helped alot. Not having them much at all anymore. Did have the morning anxiety real bad too. Don't know if it was due to the lex because I have had that before on and off effexor.
On day 7 and feeling a little better except for extreme gastro problems that I think are going a little away (with some immodium-ad). I guess the only thing to do is treat the symptoms until we get over the hump... and support each other. :-)
