Extremely unpleasant withdrawal, So addictive, electric 'shocks' to the brain when trying to quit.

Could barely walk.

Very tired and nervous, And Diarrhea.

I know a lot of people have had success with Zoloft, but it is not the right one for me.

light headed and increased anxiety the first few days, then subsided.

Exhaustion that was so bad I couldn't get out of bed.

The sleepiness disappeared, However, I have problems ejaculating.

Racing heart, severe anxiety, panic, nausea, speeded-up metabolism.

Decreased sex drive.

As I'm a nurse I was convinced I was having an allergic reaction and was terrified I was going to pass out.

I hardly remember.

numb hands and feet during the first 2 weeks, sinus swelling, sligth headaches and nasea.

My sexual performance has improved greatly, as has my concentration and even driving skills!

a day and a half of nausea .

DO NOT TAKE THIS CRAP IT HAS RUINED MY LIFE, CANNOT DRIVE.

Im lucky I didnt die b/c I just stopped cold turkey one day and the brain zaps puking and overall feeling you get is like no other.

No longer to enjoy the occasional glass of wine or champagne (can't tolerate any alcohol since starting Cymbalta) b/c it makes me too drowsy.

I can tell you from mine and others experiences that the drug withdrawal symptoms are very severe and affect every body system you have.

Overall not too bad comparing to LEXAPRO and previous paranoid state of mind.

I basically needed to use it to get rid of a severe anxiety that I let gradually build up on its own before I did anything about it, but I could feel it working in situations where I would normally get a little anxious as well.

Within a few days of starting lexapro oh my god the dreams are vivid, intense, long, and complex!

I am now on Wellbutrin ( awesome ) but I am still on effexor and have decreased my dose which makes you feel outside of yourself.

Took it in the evening and experienced nausea and drowsiness.

Sometimes I sleep so deep, that I can't even wake up to use the bathroom.

can't stop eating.

Started cying and laughing hysterically.

Initially loose bowels, headache, flu-like feeling.

extreme lethargy; hungry more than usual; weight gain; zero motivation; memory issues (short term memory negatively affected); hopeless; social anxiety magnified.

I have not been able to work, take care of my husband or daughter, take care of my house or even make meals on a consistent basis for the past 5 weeks while I am trying to get off of this med.

Experienced extreme carb craving, and bizarre urge to consume alcohal all the time.

will this pass?

I also didn't like the weird feelings when I first started so I took half doses until I got used to them and then moved to the full dose.

fatigue,irritability,lack of appetite(without weight loss).

Successful suicides result.

At least i finally managed to get some sleep last night, with the help of 2 stillnox tablets.

im exausted during the day, waking up in the night.

I constantly feel as if I am on the verge of a panic attack, I feel like sleeping all day, but have difficulty sleeping for more than 1 hour at a time even during the night.

all the time, yet will have trouble falling asleep at night, can nap for half a day no problem.

Tried alot of other meds.

Unfortunately, I did not find much benefit!

Gained 65lbs while on 20mg, and about 30lbs while on 10mg, Since i've been off it, i've lost 13lbs so far (only been 3 weeks).

I stopped taking it 3 days ago .

nausea, cotton mouth, and lack of appetite.

My hands are swelled.

The first week I was on it, I threw up every day.

help!

You seriously feel worse than you did without the medication .

As a result I am afraid of coming off the medication.

The Lexapro has helped me to keep from dwelling on things I can't change.

I'm very grateful my doctor put me on Cymbalta.

I've lost weight, increased activity, done better at work and get out and do things.

Started with 25mg for first 2 weeks, started with 50 mg for next 2 weeks.

This site is fantastic it makes you realize you are not alone and that is a great help in itself.

Jaw clenching at night and during the day, Nausea, Stomache pain, loose bowel movements, followed by constipation, Feeling dehydrated, and dry mouth, Headaches, blurred vision, increased episodes of vertigo.

I couldn't believe the side effects and how harsh they were.

I struggle to wake up in the morning, after finally getting to sleep.

Changed my life.

Headaches, fitful sleeping and takes a while to get going in the morning.

On 90 mg I had sweating at night so that my clothes are drenched, somtimes multiple times at night.

Dizzy, nauseous, sweating, anxiety, uneasiness, restlessness, shivers,.

So, yeah, I know I'm an addict.

They just said I was severely mentally ill and needed hospitalized and more and more medication.

Haha.

Dizziness, dry mouth, mild sour stomach(no vomitting), slight insomnia, weight loss, mild apathy, decreased sex drive, and fatigue.

While driving to a friends house crazy thoughts kept happening.

my doctor decided to put me on lexapro because when i get feeling better i think that i don't need anything and lexapro didn't have withdrawal effects, but i gained 35 pounds on it.

CARE ABOUT YOURSELF, DON'T TAKE IT!

To me it feels like you are feverish and it lasted maybe 5-6 weeks, Let's not be too dramatic here .

I'm not sure if I had any side effects, but I never felt any benefit from taking this drug, which both my psychiatrist and rheumatologist recommended.

big weight gain!

But I do have the inability to eat or care about food.

I have found myself waking up every 2-3 hours and general fatigue during the day.

i don't recommend it.

I am going to stick it out and hope that it starts to work soon.

Since last November my tendons on both arms started hurting by the elbow, then came extreme fatigue, and heaviness And pain in the calves of my legs came.

Then after a few months, more serious effects that I now believe were from the Lexapro started, like all-over itching and severe middle back pain, especially at night and upon waking in AM.

headaches and insomnia.

sweats, weight gain, dry mouth at beginning.

Wild dreams.

That quickly turned into a three week period of sleep.

I would not reccommend this drug to anyone with anxiety issues, as it was not a very big help.

Everyone needs to know the side effects of coming off of this drug when it is given to them!

I thought I could deal with it but after 4 months, I am feeling the exhaustion of not getting full nights' sleep.

I can barely walk up a couple of stairs without a deep burning and fatigue within my muscles.

My daily dosage is 60mg

Today was my 3rd dose of Zolft (50mg).

bottom line is- it works with at least 4 weeks to get used to the new blueprint.

I had chest pain, heart palpitations, vomiting, headache, rage, mood swings, and more.

I'm not sure why i'm even getting off it, my mum is keen for me too cause she reckons it's bad long term, But Dr's tell me there's no evidence for that.

or not being able to get out of bed because facing the depression and feelings your having is to much of a load on your heart/mind to bother.

This dosage made me very sleepy about 5 hours after taking it.

6 weeks now and today i am starting 100mg dose, previously 50) Generally feeling better but will comment again in due course.

Generally very mild.

I fired her and went back to my previous (male) GP, telling him if he didn't get me off this vile stuff I would hurt myself or someone else.

I wasn't living; I was just existing.

none.

DONT TAKE IT!

I laid on my sofa for hours, sometimes awake, sometimes asleep, feeling nauseated and listless.

This drug has changed my life but it has now become so problematic given all the negative side effects that I am not so sure it has changed my life for all the better.

I think zoloft was a great antidepressant.
