Mari,
I am sorry to hear about the chest pain! I hope you feel better now that you are not taking the Lexapro! I was on lexapro for awhile but I didn't like how it made me feel! Hope you and Doc figure out a new drug that works for you! collinsc ![]() |

i agree that is horrible Mari.
that is very disappointing. ![]() ![]() ![]() do talk to your pdoc about this and in the meantime i agree suspending seems like a good idea, especially if you don't feel safe. if he says it is a transitory thing and that you are safe, then it would be up to you, if you wanted to try with a lower dose. but i don't know. do please call him to let him know what has happened. while i have never had chest pain with an SSRI, nor with Wellbutrins SR, Wellbutrin XL gave me severe chest pain when i stepped up to 300mg (from 150). backing off on the dose to alternate days resulted in pain on alternate days - i stuck that out a couple of weeks - it did not subside, and pdoc agreed that i had to d/c. your post title also said it was 'too activating' - that too is of concern, whether it is related to the chest pain or not. ~ waves ~ |

I did feel that it was increasing anxiety (Maybe not exactly activating because I haven't had that since I was put on Verapamil.) I was getting anxious and weird. It was only only one day of this because I do not feel like continuing another day to see what will happen. The usual dose of klonopin I take at night calmed me down a bit. I'm feeling down. 'Have to see tdoc on Wed. M. |

Dear Bobby and Waves,
No. I had not looked up the med. I went into this hoping for the best. I told pdoc that I had a bad experience on Prozac and he said I would be fine with with Lexapro. ![]() Prozac and Lexapro are almost the same freaking drug! I asked hubby just now to try to explain to me the chemical formulas of Prozac and Lexapro --- wikipedia has good illustrations. They look very much the same to me. Hubby started talking about nitrogen atoms and I said, "Later, I'm going to bed." I took Lexapro 1. Fri 2. Sat 3. Sun 4. Mon By Tuesday I had chest pains and anxiety and Wednesday I still have them.

The leprosy comment made me laugh. It's a good idea. My mom is germaphobic -- except she understands Leprosy -- once told me about a book she read about Leprosy in Hawaii. She finds leprosy and its history fascinating. M. |

Mari,
Aren't they terrible? I take a lot of drugs a day! Maybe not as many as some but enough for me, 26 pills a day! I have done what you did in your 20's and am still doing it for the bipolar nonsense! I have also told you about my fainting spells that I go through, so I am on meds for that! None of them seem to work and only cause side effects but I keep taking what they give me in hopes that they will get the right combo for me! It is frustrating! We have an illness and it needs to be treated like any other illness! When I was so ready to give up on the fainting stuff you were there saying that thing would get better! You commented on all of the test potentially being a good thing and you also said that Vanderbilt might have the answers! If you are telling me not to give up how can you? I don't know everything that is or has gone on in your life but I do not feel that no more meds is a wise thought, but only you can answer that! Just worried for you collinsc ![]() |
