Hi everyone! I am new to this board although I have been reading it on and off for years for info and support. I recently (6 days ago) switched from prozac 60mg to lexapro 10mg. I had been on the prozac for 14 yrs and it finally pooped out on me. The first few days on lexapro was not so bad, just fuzzy headed and tired, but the past two days I have noticed that my heart is beating harder and faster than normal and that I am having "twinges" in my chest. Nothing severe, but it is a bit worrisome. Is this from starting the lexapro or from coming off the prozac (or a combination of both)??? Can lexapro effect your heart? Is this just another side effect or should I be worried??? Thanks so much for all of your help and input!!!
