Please bare with me as this kinda is hard to understand...
So I started generic Lexapro 5mg 6 weeks ago. When I first got the medicine I kept the pill bottle in my cross body purse and took it everywhere with me. Work, everywhere. Even to the pool (I left my purse in the locker room so it wasn't out in the direct heat) Never left it in my car though. did not have many side effects starting the medicine. Which was a surprise for me. I actually started to get brain shivers about 3-4 weeks in I would say , which I have read is more of a withdrawal symptom rather than a side effect. I refilled my prescription on Aug 23. I went back to a couple of anxiety forums I'm in on Facebook and noted that I had vivid dreams from aug 23-25 and then insomnia on Aug 28.... (Well I started my second bottle on the 23rd)... So, I'm almost thinking my first pills lost their potency from not just being left in the dang house. And that's why I started experiencing The vivid dreams and insomnia with the second bottle. I'm sorry if that doesn't make any sense but I'm thinking so much into it. I started 7.5 mg today (from my 5mg bottle ) and now I'm worried that the pills have lost their potency again because I had them in my purse all day on Labor Day while at the amusement park in 88 degree weather. I have had a bit of a headache today so I'm wondering if it's from the increase or not because honestly idk if the pills are any good now. Same with the first bottle. And I'm scared to death when I get the 10mg bottle filled that my body will freak out if in fact the 5mg pills did lose their potency all this time
