...The other advantage of LEXAPRO is "ease of use," which means that most patients seem to respond to the starting dose of 10 mg so that no dose change is necessary in these patients.

Anyone on a higher dosage I've been on 40 mg for about 6 months now (although I'm weaning off now, and am currently at 20).

Lexapro Withdrawal was nonexistent, for me. ) Not until, after seeing a Tom Cruise interview, did I realize the dangers of this drug. but so far, I'm just infused with energy, which is actually boosting my workouts. Gastric evacuation by lavage and use of activated charcoal should be considered. Also want to try taking the omega-3 supps. Feel totally withdrawn, flat, no desire to see or talk to anyone. My migraine headache treatment has them under control, so when I realized that I was experiencing migraine pain after taking this med, I immediately stopped taking it.
Fat and happy just doesn't settle well with me.
I thought, "well, maybe a small surplus of seratonin might help. I gradually "weaned" my self off the drug (with some bad withdrawal effects) and I feel almost like I have my life back again. There are no specific antidotes for LEXAPRO.
It is important to emphasize that, although the events reported occurred during treatment with LEXAPRO, they were not necessarily caused by it. I had gotten to the point where if someone was chewing gum i wanted to strangle them with it, and even the noise of my flip flops against my feet was annoying me. Want to sit and stare, could sleep all the time.
But now, 7 years later, still on 10 mg of Lexapro, I'm starting to experience paramenapause symptoms. I believe it's called "depersonalization. 5 years and decided to try to go without it a few months ago. I'm as excitable as ever, and no probs with "finishing off" :-)

LEXAPRO CAN AND DOES CAUSE
As with many other medications, you should avoid drinking alcoholic beverages while being treated with Lexapro. I was also diagnosed with ADHD, and i am currently taking FOCALIN 15 mg and it seems to be helping. Warnings/Precautions Before taking Lexapro, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, have kidney disease, suffer from seizures, or suffer from mania or have suicidal thoughts.
I have been taking 20 mg Lexapro for 2 months and have already gained 10 llbs. I can not say with 100% certainty that some of these symptoms were not depression induced rather than side effects of the medication. All patients with these events have recovered with discontinuation of escitalopram and/or medical intervention. Although these studies focused on upper gastrointestinal bleeding, there is reason to believe that bleeding at other sites may be similarly potentiated. The 10 mg/day and 20 mg/day LEXAPRO treatment groups showed significantly greater mean improvement compared to placebo on the MADRS.
