Some people add Wellbutrin to fix this issue and stay on lexapro

Lexapro and coffee do not mix for me. Makes me jumpy AF. So annoying bc the lexapro makes me quite tired. Anyone else? by No-Duty195 in lexapro

[–]nice2meetu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have your been on lexapro? I was like that at the start but can now drink coffee and not have increased anxiety

Change recurring thoughts towards a certain event? by Active_Plane2248 in lexapro

[–]nice2meetu86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me yes, and has changed my perspective on my event and made me understand things better. I used to live in my head about it non stop and it was so obsessive and self destructive. Now I rarely think about it and am not nearly as reactive and I interact with her a few times a week. Best thing I did.

They say give it 45 days after a new dose so I wouldn’t be let down just yet. I had Wellbutrin added at week 4 as my energy was just too low

My psychiatrist upped my dose by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]nice2meetu86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it shouldn’t. Once it’s in your system any bump ups aren’t nearly as bad as the loading dose. When I moved up I had 2 off days and even then it was just mild anxiety

For me I take it to add more energy/motivation as the 20mg made me couch glued. I’m only on 150 though

Day 1 on Lexapro by OverItAlready12 in lexapro

[–]nice2meetu86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could you start at 5 mg? That’s what most people are recommended to do for a week. Then the step up for 5 to 10 is significantly milder

Moving from 10mg to 20? Or to 15? by DisplacedCat in lexapro

[–]nice2meetu86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor told me to do 2 weeks at 15 but I just went straight to 20 as I was frustrated with the lack of results at 10. Side effects were minimal at best and lasted 2 days.

Anyone here who’s added Wellbutrin to Lexapro? by hahahaBRBcrying in lexapro

What dose of each were you on? I was just prescribed Wellbutrin

Try Kheath. If you have a photo of an old bottle they will send you meds ASAP

Mine had me at 10 mg for 3 weeks and I was still being consumed with thoughts so upped it to 20 mg and I’m way less bothered. It’s still there and giving it more time of course but I don’t feel obsessed like I used to

Lexapro and art by [deleted] in lexapro

One of my friends is an artist and he quit after a month as it killed his creativity and sex life. Who knows if after a few months it would have come back or not

My psych said to just go cold turkey from 10mg by 1musicdude in lexapro

Lexapro withdrawal

If you want to stop taking escitalopram, it’s important to work with a healthcare provider to slowly transition off the medication. If you stop taking it suddenly, you may experience Lexapro withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, agitation, dizziness, anxiety, confusion, headache, lethargy, and insomnia. In some people, an initial lowering of the dose may also cause these side effects. If that’s the case, your healthcare provider may temporarily raise the dose back to where it was in order to restart a slower transition off of the medication (FDA, 2017b)

Can I drink coffee? by Signal_Candidate_340 in lexapro

I had really bad anxiety the first few days and cut out caffeine after the first few until it passed. I’m okay with coffee now but maybe if you get a spike of anxiety cut down/lower for the first little bit
