Lexapro
Anyone taking Lexapro (escitalopram)? Last night I took my first dose 10mg and my heart rate went passed 130. It was only for a little and stopped when I splashed my face with cold water but Im terrified of taking it again. I have always had severe anxiety and thought about meds but my PPD and anxiety has been so intense I knew I needed to try something for the sake of my marriage and daughter. I’m scared to continue it and want to try supplements like magnesium and ashwagandha. I know it takes awhile to settle in but I really don’t want to experience that again I almost called the ambulance. Not sure if it’s a placebo effect but I do feel amazing today besides that.

Lexapro worked amazing for me in the beginning. I felt a little off but it definitely got better
It worked really well for me. It took me about two weeks for my body to fully adjust to it, but it was so worth it. However, it doesn’t mean that it works for everyone!
It’s worked super well for me! If I stop taking it for a few days I do have some withdrawal symptom’s which is the only negative. Getting used to the meds did take a while, it worsened my anxiety and OCD for a bit but after a week or two I was feeling some relief. Def felt the full affects 2 months into the medication. But it’s all abt trial and error! Or I’d recommend genesight!
