Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the support on this video. However, PLEASE speak to your doctor re: your experiences and symptoms and remember that this is my experience and it is different for everyone. Please refrain from any negative comments about my life choices or others. This is meant to be a helpful and positive video. Thank you!
Did you take it before work? I just got prescribed this yesterday
Thanks for sharing:). Started this stuff 2 months ago and I havenât felt this good in nearly a decade!
@@silvesterutd9369 has I just taek for 1 week I noticed have sexual side effect..I stop it very quickly and now I don't enjoy sex anymore and Its difficult to organism..and also I can't cry
Do u think its better 2 take it n morning or nite
How many of you watched *this video* the day you started taking *Lexapro* ?
â
Me today and not exicited
â. I start tomorrow! Hope itâs not like Zoloft.
So I was on 10mg of Lexapro. It was great for the first week. I wasn't irritated all the time, I was more rational and reasonable. But then the second week I noticed that my jaw was clenched all the time and I was getting really anxious. So for my next appointment I told my doctor this and she suggested switching me to Zoloft 25mg so that's what I'm taking now. On week two. Jaw is clenched all the time and I don't have the semi-euphoric benefits that the first week of Lexapro gave me. I feel like my old self but with a little pill that doesn't really do much for me, which is irritating. Wondering what to do now.

@@Deerslyr81 what was your experience with Z?
The Sun Dog it seemed to work but I stayed in the bathroom and it made my anxiety go through the roof. The doctor took me off for 3 weeks and today I started 5mg! Hopefully it goes well.
When youâre literally anxious about taking a medication for anxiety đ©
I have the same feeling, lol.
Literally, sameđąđąđą I thought I was the only one:((((
Same happened to me, but it saved my life, hope you're well!
Shannon McDonald how about the time for your results???
Catch 22
for everyone starting meds like this, keep in mind it takes at least four weeks to get in your system.
hello, i been taking for about 3 weeks and i saw NO change or improvements. Is it normal?
@@ProxyYT iâm not a doctor. donât ask me.
@@ProxyYT talk to your doctor man, of course. They might up the dosage.
@@ProxyYT you should have felt something it says between 1 to 2 wks

Just know that this is her experience. Yours will probably be different. I have been on SSRIs for 25 years. Lexapro for 12 of those years. I had dry mouth, bruxism (jaw clenching) yawning a lot and mild fatigue and they lasted about a week. Most people do just fine and the side effects generally arenât bad enough to discontinue use. In 4-6 weeks you will begin to notice your mood will be lifted and getting out of bed in the morning is easier. Good luck, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Dear sunny, you have had the side effects for a week, and after it it started to get better? I started on Monday, now 3 days later I have an extremely dry mouth, Iâm tired all day and have had a little fever. I hope in 1-2 weeks it gets better.
Thank god Ime the type who had isomnia triggered by anxiety which i have been battling for a year and a half now Ime coming to the point of trying anything to help me live a more stable life...
@@dildobaggins2759 i know how you feel. My anxiety was so bad that i could not sleep for days. That was awful. Had no choice but to start those meds and it worked.
Thank you for leaving feed back đđŒ
This medicine saved me, literally. I have used it for about 2 months after having severe depression and suicidal thoughts . I felt the effects after about 1 week, and after about 2 weeks I felt my depression started to lift in a major way, it was like my head opened up to see light again. And today I am fine, very few side effects other than dizziness the first weeks and a little nauseous. What I think is super important is therapy also.
After seeing reviews like this about it I decided to give it a try today. (I have debilitating depression & anxiety) thank you
@@lsuzicosbw644 hows going
@@lsuzicosbw644
Search "PSSD" on Google.
@@c67994 started with 5 mg and now itâs 20 mg. The best is to start low and gradually increase until you have the best effect( supervised by a doctor off course). Less side effects starting low.
Thank you đ I felt(feel) the same way you did there is hope!!!!
The prescription for anxiety is giving me anxiety
Update: i stopped taking it
Same
Same I just took my first dose and Iâm freaking out about the possible side effects. Iâm like is this feeling my normal anxiety or the pill?
I'm experiencing the same thing, took my first dose was expecting a wave of calmness. Now I feel like my blood pressure is through the roof and am giving me the exact feeling I'm trying to avoid
@@thatguyjd281 patience guys
@@extremelywanted dude it's really hard
Day four for me. I felt the effects on my second day. My anxiety is definitely reduced and I have more mental clarity, however I feel more spaced out. Maybe itâs my brain being able to process my surroundings in a relaxed and not in its traditional alert manner. I feel so much happier and free. Barely any side effects, just dry mouth and the urge for bowel movements.
Iâm so glad someone else also feels the mental clarity coupled with feeling spaced out! My mind has felt.. quieter and Itâs been so hard for me to describe it but you definitely did.
I'm on week two and also feel a little spaced out
I truly donât know if itâs spaced out or my minds calm đ been using it a week so far and i feel less anxious and def less if the urge somethings wrong or needs to be done
@@baileymartinez3528 you need to retrain your mind. Youâre used to getting shit done due to your anxiety now that itâs not there as much, you need a new source of discipline. I had the same issue! Good luck to you!
Iâm similar as well! Foggy yet not as overwhelmed.
I have been on 5mg for 3 months. Started 10mg today. It really has helped me tons... The 10mg intake has made me super relaxed. I feel so good...
Thankyou for this, I just started taking this and i get a bit nervous/cautious about medication and its nice to see someone else having the same side effects because im not worried now!
Hi! I took 2 weeks to start this medication because I was scared of all the reviews / side effects. But now, I've been on it for a week and I haven't felt better. :) Thanks for sharing
I feel like a lot of the symptoms most people experience are from the anxiety itself. Iâve taken many mediations for anxiety and Iâve never had that issues. If you did too deep youâll always find something wrong or even create in issue that doesnât really exist. Calm your nerves and let the medicine do itâs thing.
True ,I am terrified of side effects and end up feeling them much worse ,it's awful
exactly.
It works great. I love it. I take it every morning at 6am. I feel so much better.
Started taking it today. Beware of drowsiness, peeps â€ïž
wow i've been binge watching all these people taking lexapro and im just realizing how not alone we are in this :) thank you so much for making this video for us, it takes so much vulnerability and courage to do that
This is helpful. Iâm getting ready to start Lexapro for the first time so thanks for sharing your experience.
I just started it today. Hope all goes well.
This is a great video, I hope that your journey has gotten better.
I'm so glad you mentioned the acid reflux feeling. It's the end of day two for me and I have had a headache most of the day, dizziness, then tonight I started getting what almost feels like acid reflux. It's faint and kind of just "sitting" there low in my throat. Looked up side effects and didn't see it so I came here for reviews. Hearing you mention it makes me feel a little better like it could be common so thank you!
I got acid reflux and heart burn on day 2 as well, currently on day 3 and I just feel so damn anxious and agitated like I can't sit still, did you have the same problem?
@Darren Craigg I actually had to get off of it because of crazy bad heart palpitations on and off. Especially at night. My doctor said to keep taking it, so I did for a bit.. but it got so bad that I thought I was going to have a heart attack at one point. I kept getting a rush of adrenaline-like feelings where I would feel panicked. They kept saying my body would get used to it. After about a month, I gave up and stopped taking it
@@darrencraigg not sure why my other comment didn't tag you
Thank you so much, I have started taking this like 2 days ago and I have been having so mich anxiety that itâs wrong for me or smth bc of the side effects- but seeing you have the same thing I feel more normal about it
2203 Valentin how are you doing now?
Lexapro is the miracle drug. It pulled me out of a 2 year nervous breakdown. It makes u tired for only a few days.
i was put on this medication back in 2013 for my anxiety disorders and depression. I am still on 10mg and i feel wonderful. Have not had an anxiety attack in years and i am no longer depressed. When i started the medication back then,i remembered being a little agitated meaning shaky and i do remember having an upset stomach like i wanted to vomit, These side effects did not last long at all. After a couple of weeks,i started feeling good. Hope this help some of you who are concerned about starting this medication.
What I literally had my first dose 2 hours ago and didn't expect to actually feel the effects on the same day, not that I've had them, but now hearing people having them from the first time is making me so anxious hahsh what
Day 1 on 5mg, took it in the morning. Been feeling off in the stomach all day and have a mild persistent headache still 7 hours after taking it. I'm gonna take it at night tomorrow and see if that agrees with me better or makes me feel worse. Trial and error, guys .
I'm starting today with 10 mg for severe depresso đ
how is it going?
The meme energy in ur commentđđđ I wish u lucc with the pills I also just got on them
Omg same I took it a few hours ago and I feel so anxious cause I have GAD as wellđ
Same
me too, for severe depression & anxiety
Day 2 for me I take it in the morning, I am very drowsy, a little shaky and a little dizzy but I took a week off work and doing my study online. So I can just lay low and lounge about. I'm trying not to Google anything so I don't freak myself out so I'm just keeping positive.
Iâve been taking it for 6 days now. Iâm sleepy 100% of the time and am doing almost nothing. How long will it take for this to pass?
I've been too anxious to try anything for over ten years. I finally gave in and started taking this yesterday and am going to stick with it. Hope it has a positive effect.
How is it going?
@@enriquemoreno3461 Honestly? I haven't noticed a huge change for better or worse. But my friend says that means it IS working, since Im not actively thinking about depression/being depressed. I still am taking it though, and stuck with it. I feel like there's a ways to go with my mental health still.
@@ChairmanMeow1 im going to started today i have alot of and depression hope it works!!
When you woke up at night and your heart raising and you canât see well .. this is the scary part
Myfirst day Iâm having the pill but Iâm severe stomach aches and it feels stabbing is that normal ?? Itâs very bad stomach pain I never experience before
Thank for this!! I feel so much better about taking this medication. I am in day 3. Had diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, shaky the first day. Second night I was just tired and dizzyish. Third night I had a heart time sleeping. I feel ok this morning but still tired and a lil foggy. It makes me feel anxious. Hopefully day 4 will go better for me.
I wanna just say this video helped me a lot. I went to the doctor for some dizzy spells I was having and they think it is related to anxiety. So I started 10MG 3 days ago and day 1 there were almost no side effects that I could notice. Day 3 though I had the kind of shakes she was talking about and twitches in my body. Dizziness as well and the morning of day 4 dry mouth a little and pretty dang nauseous. But being reassured by her video with the same side effects is helping me a lot. So thank you
Your makeup looks beautiful!
I just want the random panic anxiety attacks to stop, im normaly a happy person i just randomly get anxiety attacks now do you think this can help?
My first week experience: I started with 5 grams for the first 4 days and then upped the dose to 10 grams. I have experienced mild side effects - mainly feeling drowsy, feeling sleepy most of the time, mild nausea and upset stomach, mouth is always dry, I clench my jaw a lot. One night I had a bad head ache. I did feel extra anxious and kind of depressed for the first few days but Iâm feeling much better now. My mood is kind of stable and I donât feel sad like I usually do. Iâm going to switch taking this at night time because I feel sleepy after taking it.
I was studying the first day I took it and noticed I was a little scattered. Headache was there and I just felt a little tired. Not keen on taking it tomorrow morning at work. Might wait until the afternoon so that I can focus on what I have to do for the day. So far I don't like the feeling. Definitely know something foreign is in my system.
tomorrow is gonna be my first day on lexapro, kinda worried about the side effects because i read that teenagers get suicidal thoughts and get aggressive on it
How true is it that can make you more susceptible to dementia? It freaks me outđ
Day 2 here. I accidentally took a whole because I couldn't bite the tablet in half. feeling my heart race a little but otherwise I feel no different
I'm on day 1 feeling very pleasant and anxiety going away. I hope it stays this way and getting better by the day with motivation. Only a lil bit of sweaty mouth
Howâs it going?
Iâve been on it for a week & it has been giving me acid reflux too. Thatâs been my only complaint so far, other than dry mouth which my other med does that too so Iâm use to it
i take mine around 10 and it helps me sleep faster and i donât really notice any of the side effects because i sleep through it.
Do you feel less anxious or less depressed during the day? I've only been on it for a few days and don't feel anything, just same anxiety. Contemplating taking it in the morning.
@@brando6136 you should see changes in 4-6 weeks if nothing after 4-6 weeks up dosage or change to another ssri, how've you been
Third day for me woke up today feeling like dizzy, nauseated, had a hard time waking up at a decent time, and my back muscles keep locking up? But do feel more motivated and less overwhelmed. Just not digging the nausea I hope this flies away and didnât always going to be there. Good luck on your journey
My doctor put me on 10mg which I started yesterday and my anxiety is not good - which is kinda ironic as that's why I was prescribed it in the first place. Thanks for making this video!đž
I have social anxiety and I can't make eye contact I've had panic attacks and I felt like I was gonna die and I just got medication for it and I'm scared to take it because of the side effects I don't want a panic attack again I'm scared what should I do
Take it.. i had the same problem to the point where i almost passed out and stuff been to the emergency room 3 times because of it that was around August 13th iv been taking this for about 2 weeks and iv barely started feeling a little better day by day i had mild side effects but the doctor gave me supplements too for it and dosed me down to 5mg from 10mg because it was too much. But surely every day has got better along with exercise like walking and stuff and also learning breathing exercises and doing meditation âš
My first day I didnât really feel a difference but then day 2-3 I felt good and had more energy then normal and then dat 4-5 I felt anxious and nausea
Hi there , thank you sharing your experience with this drug. I've just started it. For the most part the side effects are not pleasing to gain one day of motivation. To each their own I guess, thanks for sharing. And by the way you beautiful!
I love your videos. You have such a nice personality. I just want to share because yesterday was my first day taking lexapro 5mg. I am also taking 5mg for a week and then going up to 10mg. I have watched your videos & other peoples videos & Iâve read ALL the reviews. I was so terrified to take the medication because of the side effects. I took it yesterday at about 9am and went to Walmart to get groceries. I felt completely fine until about 12pm, I noticed I felt a little light headed but it passed! I then made a peach cobbler & a roast with mashed potatoes and corn on the cobb. I did notice the lightheaded feeling it was definitely different but it wasnât anything that I couldnât handle. It passed and I took my dog on a walk later that evening. I slept good and woke up feeling fine. I am so grateful that I havenât had many side effects so far. I am really hopeful! I want this medication to help me. Iâm taking it for anxiety. I worry and Iâm nervous a lot. I have had a few panic attacks that I am able to bring myself down from using the Insight Timer meditation app. Thanks for posting your experience I enjoyed watching this video.
any updates? how are you doing today?
I started last night and I didnât take it with food.... I could barely sleep because I felt so sick and have thrown up twice already this morning.
just took 5mg right now before bed for the first time. the headaches are the worst
I love your video and your fur babies!!! They are so cute đ„° Iâm also a cat mom to two amazing cats.
I was prescribed 10 mg and I have mainly social anxiety. I am also 17 yr old. I have to take it at night, being that it makes me sooo damn tired. Also makes my stomach very upset! I hope itâs tru that it gets better after a couple weeks!
it will Gabriel. Hope you get well soon bro.
First night. Fell asleep hard. Still have a headache after waking up. 5 mg. But, the nausea is not nearly as bad as Cymbalta.
I've been on it for several years 10mg and now 20mg - it is a little jittery for me too. One technique that works for me (ask your doctor!) - is taking it at night. Side effects are way down, maybe it's not as effective - but it works very well for me.
Doesnât the jitters freak u out? Iâm starting today... anxious
Update: I havenât had any bad side effects on lexapro. Itâs actually been a breeze. I feel way better. About 9 weeks in
Ive been on 5mg for 8 weeks and feel worse anxiety than when I started. Tried to go up to 7.5mg but that made things even worse. Ive had good moments on 5mg for a few hours some days, but other than that it seems like it only makes things worse:(
I've been prescribed Lexapro since dec. and my social anxiety and depression have just been amplified. like most social situations have my heart pounding and I can't focus or feel like myself so I've wanted to try it since it's quaratine and I don't have priorities to interfere with this lol. my main concern is this changing my mindset far worse than what I started with, is that possible to develop? so I'm just scared to become a worse person after taking it and not recovering. unrelated but I was on birth control and it caused me to throw up (I rlly can't handle vom) and I developed an eating problem for a year after that :( so idk if it's worth the risk but I feel like my life isn't in my hands right now.
Title of vid : FIRST TIME TAKING LEXIPRO
4 min in: WEâLL IVE TAKEN IT BEFORE
I just started mine on Monday. I'm extremely tired . Dizzy etc. I'm thinking of taking it at night before bed.
I know this comment is completely off topic but, Anyone here taking or took Paxil? Iâm currently on week 2 of Paxil. I was diagnosed with panic disorder, MDD, and general anxiety disorder. Iâm hoping that Paxil work, because this is my first time taking ssri. Iâm only 19 and my mental health issues have crippled my entire life. I heard bad things about Paxil w/d, but itâs whatever honestly. I need help and if this medication do improve my symptoms then Iâll gladly stay on it short or long term.
How long do I have to take 5 before u go into 10???
I have extreme sadness and I canât stop crying- Iâm starting to hate my life and I donât know how long I can take my eyes are supper swollen and I donât eat because of how much I cry. Any body has a sugestiĂłn that can help me.
Hope you start to feel better!
I got these today, Does anyone know if it helps with derealisation/ depersonalisation cause I literally feel like nothing is real.. I really hope they help with this if anyone knows if they do lmk if not what does help???
I just got the prescription I already take citalopram .... But I'm not sure about this medicine
Quick question, I have also started taking Escitalopram but my psychiatrist told me it would take at least 30 days before I noticed any kind of changes so I guess my question is why did it not take you 30 days for you to start noticing a difference?
You should feel the effects immediately, but they're not very strong. You have to let it build up in your system to get the full spectrum of benefits and side effects.
Can anyone please place any new updates? Its 2024. I was prescribed this 5mg and im scared to take it
Currently SO nervous about starting this tomorrow. I commute 40 mins for work & donât have the room to miss any work. đ€đŒ
How are things? Feeling good?
I need too. I have been very depressed for years now. I fight it so hard but I am tired and sad. I was trying not to take it for optimum gut health
My goodness, your kitties are CUTE!
Right now itâs day 6 on my Escitalopram 5mg as oxalate is that the same as lexapro? x
I have been on lexapro for 4 months and I started on 10mg the first 3 weeks and seen no change so now I'm on 20 mg right now for the last 3 months . I seen the difference in my anxiety and depression and I feel so much better. I used to have really bad panic attacks to where I felt like the room was closing in on me. I stopped having crying spells , I stopped having suicide thoughts , I feel more up beat with life and have so much more patience for my kids and my normal day to day activities. Now my only issue is I have been with my boyfriend for 10 years and have awesome sex but since I been on lexapro I don't feel like I'm in the mood and I'm not wet anymore (TMI I know) and I feel bad because my boyfriend thinks I don't find him attractive anymore, has anyone else experienced this since being on lexapro? I also have dry mouth , and sleep allot. I stopped using my medication cold turkey for a week and I had been dizzy for days and light headed and soooo thirsty so I decided to continue taking my medication until I see a psychiatrist next month to see what would work better for me. I hope my experience on lexapro helps someone else. But highly recommend talking with your doctor.
It's my first day with cipralex (escitalopram) 10mg and then after a week I will change it to 20mg. It made me sleepy and nervous/anxious so far. I took it a few years ago and the side effects last for a few days only.
How are you feeling now ,any side effects still?
I got escitalopram prescription today and Iâm afraid to take it. I had a really bad day and I wanted to take it, but my sister said no so I didnât. I watched this girl video and it makes me wanna try out my pills. Iâm afraid to do it, maybe itâll help me though I had a bad anxiety attack today. I quit my job because my manager has been rude to me.
After four weeks would the side effect subside ?
I'm on my second week and so far the only side effects are a slight headache and sleepiness. Other than that, it seems to be helping
Hw z appetite? And nausea
@@NimsInfoDiary Haven't noticed a change in appetite or experienced any nausea to speak of. Just the sleepiness
Did you take in the morning or night??
Ive been on 5mg for a week now, it has been very harsh and I'm not sure whether to keep going or stop, I haven't slept in days aswell as
- nausea and dizziness
-rigning in my ears
-fast heart rate
-weak/limp and numb
-headaches
-tiredness and lethargy
-stomach ache
-hot and fever ish
Not to mention it has somehow worsened my anxiety as if that was possible, has anyone else experienced this?
Going through the exact same.
i noticed changes as early as the next morning i took 10mg at 3pm and woke up around 7-8am and already felt so relaxed one thing though is a few hours after i took it i felt shaky but that only lasted a few minutes iâm on day three now
I've been prescribed this, and I had intended on taking it for severe anxiety and panic attacks. I can't make myself take it. I'm not going to take it. I already have weird symptoms and cannot take anymore
I stopped taking it for 2 months after being on it for a year ,I am terrified of starting it again and don't think I can do it
When I started with it... I was straight away given 30mg daily, it continued for 5-6 months, then gradually decreased it...
Mine makes me very groggy but Iâve had sleeping issues so Iâm afraid to take it before bed
My doctor has me taking it in the morning.
I just started yesterday. I swear I feel nauseous, dizzy, and tired. I have high hopes though
I'm on day....3 or 4 of 5 mg right now. I was on 20mg starting in 2012 until 2019 when I stopped during pregnancy. Just now getting back on going into the new year of 2021.... so far I've felt tired and nausea with a weird appetite. I hope it will pass. đđ
What dosage did you start on?
I take lexapro at night along with trazadone. I have been on it for three weeks so far. I definitely feel better than I did three weeks ago, but the side effects are apparent. I have vertigo symptoms and fatigue for sure. I also have a vitamin D deficiency but the pills sort of amplify that. I would take this feeling over how I was feeling before though.
Can you take herb vitamins. With this ?
Kelp. Alfafa and seaweed?
Your cats are so cute! â€ïž
Very critical on myself and all things so wnt to vote this up
I wonder how much the placebo effect has to do with the effects we experience on the day we start
Yea I know for a fact I felt a little better the day I started. I guess because I was happy I finally broke the barrier of trying ti fix myself. Im excited to see how it helps me while I deal with the side effects lol
Placebo ceiling effect in 6 months then it stops working
SSRI are a sugar pill
@@mainereen9240 what happens next? Anxiety returns?
@@osmanaj2002 that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. They're not sugar pills.
It made me sleep and I would wake up in a fog then after two weeks I started feeling really good. Just like happy. Cause I never feel âhappyâ I feel fine or non chalant or just donât gaf tbh. Somebody told me antidepressants shouldnât make you sleep though? Iâve been scared to take anymore again but I think I need some again (antidepressant in general) so I wanted to watch this and see your experience.
Do you take it in morining or night
I just started 10mg 3 days ago.
Only symptoms I have is hunger, headaches, and cotton mouth.
Other than that it has been fine.
Im not hungry anymore
I'm starting today with 10mg I'm kind of nervous but hoping for the best!!
Im starting today too!im nervous đ
Did ur anxiety got worse the first few days
Just a heads up it takes pretty much at a bare minimum 2 weeks to notice any difference with SSRI's and majority of people have very minimal side effects. Not to say she isn't having these side effects but MOST people have minimal issues.
Hello is it okay for a 9 year old to take this?
Took my first lexapro (20mg), with vyvanse this morning and I felt fine all day, felt great really, but now as Iâm coming down Iâm getting a swelling in my lip and my throat is starting to feel a little bit sore??? Never felt this with vyvanse, maybe itâs the lexapro? Or maybe the combination.. Iâm not sure, maybe not related at all!! But Iâm just curious if anyone has experienced the same thing?
Please start with 5 mg ,20 mg is a huge dosage
I got put on Citalopram 10mg and Iâve been on it for 2 years. A lot of people get scared to take medication because the side effects but just know itâs your body adjusting to the meds. It is not gonna work right away which is why the first couple weeks can be hell. Trust tho, it does get better. I never felt to Alive and normal and had practically 0 anxiety for several several months. There are more good days than bad. Iâm planning on upping up my dosage to maybe 20mg or changing my medication because I donât feel normal.
Today was my first day and Iâm feeling so anxious. At first it was fine and I got a burst of energy but after 5 hours I felt like my body was burning and Iâm so exhausted. I really donât like this feeling and I want to stop but I know itâs bad to stop
are you still on itv
started taking it yesterday, the side effects are horrible i think iâm going to stop taking it bc itâs so bad
Quick question does the sides go away? đ€
