Lexapro side effects kicking my butt!
Posted , 2 users are following.
I had a pretty bad anxiety flare-up a couple weeks ago. I had been on Lexapro 20mg for the past 13 years. My doctor increased my dosage from 20 to 40mg and gave me a prescription for trazodone to use at night. It's been 12 days since I started on 40 mg. I had to go down to 30 mg three days ago because the side effects (anxiety, insomnia, sweating, loss of appetite) were pretty bad. Unfortunately, the side effects haven't gotten much better. They've almost gotten worse. I'm wondering if I should go back down to 20 or if I should just ride it out. I also started yoga, meditation, and exercise which has helped but the anxiety increase has been crazy. Feeling really defeated and frustrated. Anyone have experience with this?
