Sorry everyone this is my third post but I'm getting kind of nervous. I've been taking Lexapro for about four days and the dosage is just 5 mg. I'm not on any other medication and never have been. The pill makes me very tired and depressed but it also is making my head and legs vibrate and tremor. This gives me bad headaches and makes me dizzy and causes me to feel detached from my surroundings. I made a call to my doctor and therapist and waiting to hear back from them. Is this common? Will something worse happen? I'm so scared. Is it just the pill talking action and getting out of my system? Any advice would be great sad

    I've taken Lexipro for almost half a year now and the first month or so is always the worst. The med doesn't start working for about 4 weeks. Hang in there

    Hi jannine. Did you ever start feeling better? I’m taking 10mg Lexapro and I’ve been experiencing tremors throughout the day. I take it at 10 AM. I’m only day 4 and I’m not really liking the side effects.

      Hello Adriana! I actually switched over to Zoloft and have been doing better. I’ve been taking 25mg for the past 7 days. I’ve been able to sleep and feeling a lot better. The only thing I’ve really experienced was constant yawning, gas (lol) and some constipation. & to be completely honest....I’ve turned my life around and drawn closer to God. He has given me all the peace I’ve been searching for. It’s an everyday thing but I can honestly say I’ve been feeling a ton better! Be strong in the Lord, you will overcome anxiety! It is well
