Time to come off lexapro already?

Hey guys, as some of you know I've been on lexapro since the end of July. about three weeks in I started getting brain jolts. I also started putting on weight fast. Almost four months later I'm still getting the jolts, and I'm up 13 pounds. This is devastating. It's kind of helping my anxiety... but I'm still scared to drive alone(mostly because of these brain jolts) idk what to don but I'm thinking about coming off of the lexapro ....:'( (with the help of my doctor of course)

MOT,

I am sorry. ..this must be so frustrating! You have certainly hung in there and done your best!

Has your doctor made any reference for a plan 'B'?

Hopefully you can consult him/her soon, and come up with an alternative plan...?

S.C.

Hi

Yes I agree you need to speak with your doctor about changing your Lexapro as it sounds like it's not a good match for you.

Keep us posted
