In reply to Re: Anyone had success on Effexor XR? F/U - PartII, posted by NicknameRay on September 29, 2005, at 15:32:38
That was what I tried also!!! Lexapro! That made me SO sick! I hated that, and if you think the jaw clenching on Effexor is bad, this had me grinding my teeth in my sleep SO bad, that my other half had to sleep in the living room, as my teeth grinding was the creepiest sound he had ever heard. I hated Lexapro!
> Well I put a call into my doctor's office to talk to the dr taking calls for my dr while he's on vacation. He is going to give me another week of 37.5mg so I can back off slowly. But he was pretty adamant about me not stopping. He asked me what I was afraid of. He even told me that his wife is on it and she has no problems.

> I think I'm going to wean off the Effexor and then I don't know what, but according to what I'm reading about Lexapro - I'm not too thrilled about that either (weight gain). I think I'm not going to start anything else until I get more information. I hate taking anything!!
