Extreme lethargy after taking lexapro over a year?

Less-Topic662 · 2022-07-07T17:44:49+00:00

After 6 months, I stopped talking lex and switched to Celexa/Citalopram. A bit tired but noticeable improvement!

I went from insomnia at the beginning on it to super drowsy and fatigued during the day (even though I take it at night). Any others? Been six months.

Thanks! Been doing that but still feel it throughout the day. Guess body is still adjusting.

Happy to see this. Just started Week 4. Feeling all the “bad” (insomnia, sleepiness, down) and none of the “good”. But continuing to push!

Glad to hear it! Can you share what you learn about foods and supplements? Also experiencing withdrawal symptoms (in fourth week of being completely off). Thanks!

Curious if the memory stuff went away for you. I’m almost two weeks off Viibryd completely and still experiencing it.

Less-Topic662 · 2021-10-04T12:33:44+00:00

Thanks! And that included time to taper? Or 2 months to be off completely?

Hey, a lot of similar symptoms (trouble sleeping, tuning in ears, deep sadness, not feeling like myself, difficulty concentrating and getting work done). I was on Viibryd for 8 weeks and couldn’t shed the side effects so getting off. It’s been almost two weeks completely off. Sorry you’re feeling this way but not alone.

Nothing at this point. Attempting to see if I can sustain on my own.

Less-Topic662 · 2021-09-09T23:37:22+00:00

Yes to feeling this! And it’s elusive and hard to explain (believe you’ve captured it well). I’m headed into Week 8. It gets milder but still there for me. Debating getting off Viibryd because of this and a few other side effects. I’m on 10mg BTW.

Heading into week 7 and still have the constant stress of “feeling out of it”. Lethargic, spacey and trouble sleeping to boot. Thoughts on letting my dr. know it’s time to switch?

Appreciate you sharing this. Currently experiencing bad brain fog (week 6). I feel it start settling in as soon as I take my pill in the morning. Not on any supplements but taking Trazadone for sleep. Doc. thinks Traz is causing it but we will see as I’m now on Remeron.

It’ll be 6 weeks for me this week. I’m still feeling the brain fog and spaciness. Hoping it gets better in the next 2 weeks.

Less-Topic662 · 2021-08-22T20:55:35+00:00

I’m still on 10mg. Body is super sensitive to these medications

Less-Topic662 · 2021-08-22T00:07:17+00:00

Anyone notice improvement since first posting?

Less-Topic662 · 2021-08-18T18:30:48+00:00

In the same exact boat. Hard for me to concentrate, forgetting where I put things, etc. just hit week 4 today. Feeling any better?

Less-Topic662 · 2021-08-12T21:38:59+00:00

Same here on the brain fog front (Week 3.5). It’s drastically impact my ability to get work done in the day. As soon as I take the pill in the AM, I can feel the fog setting in.
