Hi, I need some help, My aunt has MS and takes a once a week injection (I think it's Avonex) and has been for a very long time, she is now 4 weeks pregnant and only stopped taking it about a week or...
"Crying at the drop of a hat - at anything and everything. He tries to fill each day so I have less time to dwell on how I am feeling." Marj, then Lex is the med for you. I'm on Lex and I am...
Hmmm, so we're in a similar position, I thought it was just me. Ok well I'll let you know how the appointment goes!...
Oh yes, side effects :) I'm apparently very sensitive to Lex and got about 14 side effects in total. A few of them hit me like a ton of bricks, those being somnolence (extremely sleepy - sleeping 3...
Alright! rtq, If you are going to be so busy in a new job and you feel like you've lost control now that you're coming of the tablets...and that you had horrible anxiety that was controlled by...
Scaredycat and els, thank you for your replies, I actually havn't been on Lex that long, about 2 months by now. I've just made an appointment with my neuro for next wednesday so I'll let you know...
I'm currently on 10mg of Lex, its been working great so far but within the past two weeks, I feel as if I need to go up to 15mg. All the issues that Lex has done wonders for are creeping back slowly...
This is something I wanted to do. Apparently its a good combo for some people, thats because Lex has a that famous drowsy, sleepy, apathetic effect whereas Wellbutrin has the energetic, super highs...
Hey Shen, I'm on Lexapro, 10mg (for about 7 weeks now) and at first I had really hectic side effects (when I told my neuro ALL about it, he did say I'm one of the rare ones who's very sensitive to...
tymaboy, 10mg is a normal dose, and most people are on that, so 20mg is actually quite high-ish, since not many people are on 30mg. I'm glad you havnt gained weight!! Gives me hope!! I also find that...
I only lost weight because I was barely eating!! I'm so much calmer that I was chatting to someone via text last night who was getting irritated and I was asking, "Why do you get irritated by so many...
Riley Mo, I am going to stick to Lex, same dose and all, and see what happens, because I honestly feel that for once heres a med thats actually doing something in a positive way. :) Taintedangel, I'm...
Riley Mo, when you figure out what you're goin to be taking, please post, I would love to know. On monday I went to my neuro, making a massive deal about the weight gain issue, asking him about...
Hey Suesse, Thank you for your 'lecture' :) I must admit you sound like me. I have wasted so much time feeling crap and worrying about my appearance rather than just having a laugh and actually...
@ Riley Mo: I hope that irritability doesn't come back in full force again, irritability is one of my reasons for being on Lex. What kind of natural supplement are you going to try? I wish you all...
The happiest part of your life (so far) coming to an 'end' combined with not being on the meds you are usually on, I would say, is bound to make you feel depressed. " I feel like I will never...
I'm sure they should, I was just a bit curious seeing as they're supposed to go away...not get worse. Thanx!...
Thank you very much for your reply Riley, Thats the line I keep looking for! "I've continued to exercise and eat the same as before but still gained." Because if its out of my hands then I'm going to...
Hi, I'm on Lexapro (for a month now) and for the first 2 weeks I had very bad nausea and was extremely tired/drowsy, but things have been looking up since then. Ever since about 2 days ago the...

Thank you for your reply, I can admit that I might need a little therapy with my fear. I've grown up in a family that basically thinks you just have to be thin. I don't like my obsession with weight...
Hey, I'm new :) I am very confused, I have been on lex for about 3 weeks, I hear that its one of the best with side effects that arent as harsh as some of the others (?) NOW! The weight part. My...
