Ok guys day 3 here and honestly I feel pretty good. Very little side effects felt. Dizziness pretty much home and My mood is a lot better...

Stupid question here I'm just really seeing if anyone has experianced this.

So for the last 2 days on this medication I've kinda done nothing except sit in bed all day. Today I feel like I have more energy and upon doing regular activities around the house I feel My heart rate go up and I'm a tad short of breath. You Think its just from being in bed and a few days and not eating well? Anyone relate?

I'm on escitalopram generic for lexapro. My side effects are a little different than yours. Yours are on the mild side. Take solitude in it.

Do you take your Lexapro in the morning or at night? The reason I ask is that if you take it in the morning and it causes you to feel too tired, then switch to taking it at night before you go to bed. Or if you take it at night, try switching it to mornings. This works for some people, I personally take mine at night because it causes sleepiness.

Take care,
Fox

How bout you?

Well today in going to take My ecsilopram at night and take My klonopin today.

Honestly I feel My overall mood has been better on the escitalopram. I've only been on it for 4 days. I still have the foggy fuzzy years feeling. I feel some anxiety but I noticed it goes away very quickly. Like it wants to start but can't. My problem has been the fatigue which I'm just going to have to push myself to get up and do things. I've almost been bed ridden in a sense.

I hope you get relief soon
