  • This week I get a little personal with a lexapro review after 30 days of using it for anxiety and depression. I talk about the side effects and positive effects lexapro has had on me so far.

    I'm only 10 days in and I am finally beginning to start to see some positive things from it. The initial increased anxiety was almost a deal breaker for me, but I genuinely wanted to push through and give this drug a fair shake. I sincerely appreciate your insight and the detail. Your video is one of the best personal accounts for Lexapro on UA-cam. I'm happy and proud of you, life isn't easy, ESPECIALLY now a days. Good luck, I wish you further success.

      You can ask your doctor for hydroxyzine, that works insanely well for anxiety. For myself it does anyway.

    I've had issues with generalised anxiety my whole life (I'm 54 now), a couple of months ago I was going through a particularly bad episode of anxiety and had a few panic attacks which I've never had before. So I went and talked to a psychiatrist and she put me on me 10mg per day lexapro, well after 3 days taking lexapro my anxiety went higher than I've ever felt in my life before and I had a huge panic attack that lasted days, I couldn't eat or sleep or even think straight I basically felt terrified 24/7, after 5 days of this panic attack I just couldn't take it anymore I was getting suicidal it was so horrible, so I stopped taking the lexapro and the panic and anxiety faded away over the next 24 to 36 hours. I have no idea if it would have got better if I had of stuck with it and continued taking the lexapro but at the time it really didn't seem that was the case it felt like it was destroying my mind.

      Talk to your Doc , she might prescribe some other medications to you . Lexapro doesn't suits everyone.

      @@vratysanu Yeah I'm trying to find a med that works for me, after lexapro I tried Cymbalta that was even worse it made me feel totally crazy I couldn't even leave my home I only took it for 2 days. I'm now trying zoloft today is day 7 on 25mg, it's making me feel a bit weird, kind of hot and amped up, nauseous, and a bit more anxious than usual but nothing horrific, I'm going to stick with it and see how it goes, going to see my doc this afternoon to discuss whether I jump up to 50mg now or do another week on 25mg, I'm a bit nervous so I think I'll stay on 25 for another week to let the startup side effects settle some more.

    Wow. I’ve had the ‘electric light floater’ vision thing. I know exactly what you are talking about. It never occurred to me that it might be lexapro. My experience, 2 yrs out is overwhelmingly positive. Sleep regulated, reduced anxiety. Over all it’s pretty mild. Still hard to get motivated to do a lot of tasks. I can get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start sometimes. Once I get moving I’m fine. I have had some sex issues. It’s not reduced drive or ability to get wood. It’s just really difficult to climax. I guess some guys might think this is a plus, but it’s kinda frustrating for me.
