Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I take my Lex in the evening and it seems to help me sleep. I'm taking it for both anxiety and depression. It's the best AD I have ever taken. I am the most stable I have ever been in my life and I owe it to the Lex. I'm beyond childbearing age so I don't need to worry about getting pregnant while taking Lex. Sue C Lexapro for anxiety I have anxiety and was taking Paxil. It worked great, but I decided to get off of it when they changed the pregnancy category to D. All the other SSRIs are C. My doc says I can stay on Paxil, but I decided to get off. (I'm not currently pregnant, but trying) I was wondering if anyone is taking Lexapro for anxiety and not depression. How successful has it been? My doctor wrote for me some Zoloft, but after 4 days of dizziness and vertigo that did not improve, I quit. I do not have any vertigo or dizziness with Paxil. Also I wanted to try Lexapro because it is suppose to be easier to get off of (Paxil was not easy). I need something to help me sleep. Does Lexapro help with this? Do most people take in the morning or night? Any advice would be great appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I take Lex for both dep.and anx. When I'm going through a very stressfull time and my anx. level is high I go to a 1/2 higher until I get through it. Then I return to my original dose of just one. I take mine at night. I don't know if it helps me to sleep because I seem to be tired a lot anyway. ak --- niteyorkie75 <niteyorkie75@...> wrote: > I have anxiety and was taking Paxil.

I started taking Lexapro for anxiety after my sister died unexpectedly. Before, I was unusually emotional (teared up looking at movies, etc.), which I had never been before. After my sister's death I started having morbid thoughts about my own and my wife's mortality and had trouble sleeping. The Lexapro worked like a charm to calm me down. The only " bad " side effect I've noticed is that it has adversly affected my sex life. It dulled my libido somewhat, but more importantly, affected me physically. But overall, Lexapro has been a big plus. I take it at night before bedtime as I am now working again and need a clear head during the day. Hope this helps. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I am currently taking Lexapro for Anxiety, not depression. The anxiety was making me have chest discomfort that put me in the hospital a couple of times. I have high blood pressure and have battled that since my 20's and have a bad history( My dad died of a massive heart attack when he was 40, i am now 44). So i really thought i was having a heart attack. I still have a hard time believing my symptoms are from anxiety but i would rather have that diagnose then an actual heart ailment.Sophie robear38 <robear38@...> wrote: > > I have anxiety and was taking Paxil.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I take it at night. I don't know if it helps me to sleep or not as I have FMS and that has some cronic fatigue with it. Therefore and towit, I don't know what is helping me to sleep. ak --- robear38 <robear38@...> wrote: > > > > > I have anxiety and was taking Paxil.
