I have GERD, (reflux disease), irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulitis

and I have not had any gastrointestinal problems related to the Lexapro. No

heart burn, no diarrhea or vomiting. I've had no problems what so ever with

the Lex.

Hi, I am new to the group.

I suffer with agoraphobia and panic/anxiety. Panic doesnt seem to be as bad

as it use to ne, panic attacks are few and far between, but the anxiety is

always there, this has been ongoing since I was a child. I am now 48. I

recently discovered that I have a fear of vomiting. :( This too I believe

Ive had most of my life.)

For the past 3 years I have been taking 1 1/2 mg of Xanax that has helped me

a quite a bit. My doctor recently gave me Lexapro but unfortunately I fear

side effects. I joined this group to learn more about the side effects

concerning gastrointestinal upsets. Any input you can give me on this med

and the side effects would be greatly appreciated. Theresa

When does everyone take the lex? morning or evenings? I take mine in the

evening. I have actually had no side effects except for the weight gain.

I take it in the morning. It has a tendency to give me a little extra

energy, which I don't need at 9PM.

Hi welcome to the boards. I have been taking Lexapro for quite sometime now for

my anxiety and for me Lexapro is great. It helps control my Anxiety well. The

only side effect I have from the medication is the weight gain so I am now

currently trying to wean myself off. But please remember that everyone's body is

different and you might not gain the weight from it. Good luck to you and please

let us know how you are doing.

You sound so much like I was. (fear of side effects and vomiting, as well). I

can assure you that I have never vomited from taking Lexapro (or the Zoloft I

took before it). I had a few days early on where my stomach felt a bit uneasy

but not enough to cause me panic or to alter my daily activities.

My main side effect while going on and going off this type of meds is a

zoned-out feeling in my head, like you get if you get way too much sleep. Not

horrible at all, just a bit unpleasant, but that was short-lived. Trust me, the

benefit of these drugs far outweighed the few side effects I have had. Don't

let the fine print on the paper that comes with your prescription scare you!

They have to document have teeny, tiny complaint someone has, whether proven as

a result of taking the medication or not. Good luck!

I started off taking it in the morning, because it gave me insomnia. However, I

was drowsy and zoned out all day. After awhile I started taking it at bedtime,

but I have to also take Ativan to sleep. This helped with the day time

drowsiness. Also, I have a huge appetite on lexapro. I lost 30 lbs. 4 years

ago and am very diet and body conscious. I've gained several pounds since

starting lexapro and although I'm unhappy about that, it's worth it to feel

better :)

I havent started my Lexapro yet. Id like to know out of everyone in the group

that has taken it, how many of you have had diarrhea, vomiting, or nausea so bad

it interrupted your work day/had to take the day off etc., and do you find it

has helped for those of you with GAD, and how long did the side effects last? Is

it best to take with food or milk? I appreciate your helping me with this.

Your worrying too much, Lexapro has jack-all side effects, usually, like me,

there are no side effects at all. Sure you have to wait a couple of weeks before

it works and you adjust to the medication. You dont need to take it with food.

I've had GAD and panic attacks in the past when I was on disability and wasn't

working. (I think I turned into an agoraphobic, and then when I went out into

public I had the panic attacks. It went away when I took my meds and went back

to work!) It's good to take these medications with food. I didn't have nausea

with Lexapro myself. How are you doing now?

Hi there. This group is specifically for patients of Dr. Alberto

Aceves in Mexicali - so, yes, all of us on this site have had (or are

contemplating having) surgery in Mexico.

I was. I am still worried that something is going to go wrong. Like

my flight might not arrive on time, etc.... So far it has been bad, my

ex boyfriend stole all my money that I saved for the surgery. Then my

mother lent me the money and they never received my deposit. Hope that

is the end of my bad luck. I pray that everything starts looking up.

Not really scared, I was excited and

couldn’t wait to get it done. It helped that we planned to take a few

days before surgery to take our time driving and relaxing in the hotels first. I

have heard of but not sure where that is. I am in Ranger.

That's funny because I didn't get upset until I was wheeled into

surgery too. I thought I was the only one.

I guess that's when it really hits you, that this is real and it going

to happen now.

Yes, I started to cry laying there waiting for surgery, but fortuantely the anestheologist gave me something for my headache and it also made me relax.
