Crystal,

I think this happened to me the other day. I just went in to see the doc

yesterday for a med check. I've been feeling jittery at times, and my heart is

racing and I feel Short of breath while being on the Lexapro but I also have

Mitral valve prolapse. I thought it may be acting up again. After talking to

my doc yest, she feels I'm VERY apprehensive about taking or starting new meds

and it's probably contributing to these feelings I'm having. So she wants me

to wait it out, and if they get worse, then I need to call my regular doc up

again and maybe get started back on my beta blocker. Anyone else have

" anxiety/heart symptoms " when starting the lexapro? I'm also only on 5mg right

now.

Thanks!

Amy

My son has had some anxiety attacks, and at first they were related to his

concerns about taking medication. We had dealt with his anxiety before, and

figured he would get every side affect mentioned, just from thinking about

them. Lately, it's been asthma (he thinks.) He was at the doctors

yesterday, and did a test, which ruled out asthma. The doc upped his Lex to

20 mg (from 10, he started about a month ago) and gave him something (I'd

have to go look) for when he is feeling anxious. We'll see what happens.

Hello! I'm not sure if we ever met. I'm Jaci. I'm 23 I have a SCS

and two PNS (peripheral nerve stimulators) The best way to describe

the stimulator when its on is it feels like a tens unit (if you have

had one of them before) or if you have gone to a chiropractor or

physical therapy and you had the treatment done where they put the pads

on you and it provides electrical stimulation. Those I would say are

probably the closest thing to the feeling. If you haven't had either

one of those let me know I have another comparison but its not as good.

I find that once I have had my stimulator on for a while I get used to

it and I don't feel it the majority of the time. I will feel it if I

move in a certain position sometimes or if I am doing certain things.

The stimulator doesn't limit my mobility. (once I was healed) As far

as side affects its not like a medicine where it makes you sick but if

you move a certain way you might get an increase in the sensation

almost like a jolt. Ok I don't know if these are really side affects

but once you have a stimulator these are things that you can't have or

do - MRI's, you can't have diathermy -ultrasounds involving heat, and

or without heat depending on your doctor and the location of the

ultrasound in reference to your stimulator. Also when you go through

medal detectors you may get a little jolt, ( don't let that scare you

it really doesn't hurt and if you have the stimulator turned down to

zero you won't feel it) they recommend that you try and avoid them when

you can and if you can't turn it down and off. I've gone through them

before. They will give you a card saying you have the implant. If you

already knew all that stuff sorry but I figured it couldn't hurt to

make sure. If you have any other questions let me know. If I think of

anything else I will let you know. I am kind of tired right now so I

might wake up tomorrow and realize I forgot something.

Good Luck.

Jaci

I amnot sure of a specific site for this. You may have to go to rxlist.com or

drugs.com or epocrates to look up each drug you want to know about ( or start

with top 200 drugs) and make a chart.

 

This site may also help you.j

Hope this helps.
