Lexapro

I was on Lexapro for about 10 months. I had complained to my doctor that I was having trouble sleeping. I couldn't sleep because I was convinced that there were people in the living room. It would scare me so much that I wouldn't even get up to go to the bathroom until daylight. On the few occasions that I just couldn't wait, I would hear a slight noise or see a shadow and be even more convinced someone was out there. She asked if I had any other anxiety problems. I said yes, so she suggested Lexapro.

Adjusting wasn't too bad. It made me tired and a bit dizzy at first, but I got used to it quickly. Coming off the medication was another story. I'd been thinking about stopping the medicine, so when I ran out and forgot to get more, I figured it was as good a time as any. The first thing I noticed was the dizziness. Then the dizziness made me nauseous. I was tired all the time too, but that's nothing new. It's been about two weeks now. I think it's getting better. I don't think I got dizzy as much today.
