Aropax My Story And Beginning Lexapro (Top voted first)

I have had anxiety since I was 9, panick attacks since roughly about 13 and depression has just come on the past few months. I have been on aropax since I was 18 I'm now 24. Over the past month my doctor has been weaning me off it. I was on 60mg (3 tablets) so I cut down to two tablets for a week, then 1 tablet for a week then half a tablet for a week then no tablets for a week. The weeks I only took 2 and 1 I actually felt great the only side effect would be slight nausea that would last a couple of hours but nothing major at all. The week of have half and none have been the worst ever! I read many stories of how hard it can be. Although I don't think my experience was as bad as others. Severe nausea which lasted all day and feeling dizzy I would never vomit though. I start lexapro 10mg this weekend. I just want to be happy again and not miss work or school. I'm in my last trimester of studying to be a teacher and it's been hard I've missed lots. I'm really hoping this is the medication that works for me!!

Hello, Jenna! How is the Lexapro working for you?

It's really helped a lot of people. It is an SSRI antidepressant and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes.

Hi, I've been on the lexapro for 3 days now and seems ok they said I won't feel much effect for a few weeks. Haven't had any side effects that I know of as I'm still withdrawing from aropax so don't know what symptoms are for what lol Let's just say the past week off aropax has been horrible! Constant nausea and anxiety!
