Lexapro: How do you handle the jitters

Posted by qbsbrown on December 5, 2006, at 16:57:40

This drug has worked wonders for my depression, not for OCD.

But it makes so much speed up, jittery, completely restlessness during my work at a desk.
Like im crawling through my skin.

How do i control this?

I already take klonopin, i wonder if a beta blocker would help this through the initial stages. I haven't gotten past a couple weeks on lexapro, to hopefully let this feeling die down.

I appreciate your advice.

Phillpa,

Where u experiencing the jitters and restlessnes?

How long did u take the beta blocker?

I think that neurontin might be a good idea, as it's a non benzo sleep aid, im partly BP, and i know that the Lexapro is inducing some hypomania.

Hopefully i can get up on lamictal soon.

Brian

My pdoc gave me lopressor 25mg three weeks before the paxil. And I'd already been on Mono xanax. Love Phillipa

i take very low doses of xanax throughout the day

the jitters are not too bad for me

the feeling okay is worth it

i also find lexapro a libido-friendly med
