Hi all,

My wife joined this forum and has been asking a few questions, so thank you for your help so far.

I've just completed 6 weeks of 20mg per day. I was pretty low when I was proscribed that dosage but there were specific anxiety issues that explain that and frankly I think my dosage is probably to high.

I didn't really feel anything until a week ago. Now I believe it's starting to work but by that I mean I can physically feel the drug in mys system.

In particular for the last week I've been waking up with a mild headache and mild nausea. Not a great way to start the day. I've woken a couple of times at around 4am and felt the beginnings of that, but it's on waking that it's at it's strongest.

I then get going, take my medication and the headache and nausea ease or stop.

Is this something anyone else has experienced?

    Sounds pretty much like side effects of Lexapro.. It should ease up..
