Spriggy said 'I was given Compazine (and Phenergen) a few times for a stomach bug and both wigged me out. Made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable, restless, and felt very bizarre on both.'
This side effect was probably akathisia. Lexapro can also cause akathisia. Did Lexapro cause similar side effects to Compazine?
As well as considering the possibility that Lexapro may have induced a mixed state, I also think that it is worth considering the possibility that what you experienced was a form of akathisia.
