I AM CURRENTLY ON A VERY EFFECTICE EATING PLAN AND EXERCISE ROUTING FOR LOSING WEIGHT. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN USING LEXAMIL 20MG FOR 3 WEEKS NOW CAN CANNOT MANAGE TO SHED ANY MORE WEIGHT ## Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and it is actually not known to cause significant weight gain. In clinical trials, after 6 months of use, most people have gained less than 0.6kg. It may be just your body adjusting to your current diet and exercise regimen. This can happen with any plan, like this, and it can cause weight loss to slow. Are there any other questions? ## Hi good day. I would just like to know some facts.i am looking after a pasient with dementia alzheimer and she is on lexamil and urbanol she has been eating alot and have put on alot of weight since i started working...

I want to know if a person can die of nexito 20 overdose. If yes, how long does it take for the effects to show? ## If a person take overdose of 8 tablets of ratilam and nexito10 ## It is always possible to overdose on any medication, though how long symptoms take to appear can vary from person to person. The NIH lists the ones for Nexito (Escitalopram, and Clonazepam) as possibly including shallow breathing, vomiting, unconsciousness, and a drop in blood pressure/heart rate. I am sorry, Aman, but I couldn't find anything listed under the name of Ratilam. Do you know anything else about it?

I jut started getting frequent UA's, and keep coming up for BENZO's ... I was on Librium for withdrawl off Xanax about 20 days ago, and Im on 20 mg Lexapro daily. Can the Lexapro be coming up as a BENZO?? One doctor of mine says YES other Dr says NO... HELP!!!!! ## The Xanax itself can continue to show up on a urine test for 6 weeks, after you have stopped taking it, though the exact time can vary slightly, depending on how long you were taking it and how much you were taking. And the Librium can also cause a positive test for Benzodiazepines. But no, the Laxapro is not known to cause false positives, but the fact that you were taking the Xanax and then used Librium may explain the problem. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I was add 6 milligrams of xanax a day for 3...

I have bad anxiety whereas my hands and neck are trembling, plus I have always felt tired and have low confidence. My doctor advised me to take Escitalopram and Clozel-beta. Will this help? ## The Lexapro (escitalopram) may work for your anxiety but you'll have to take it for nearly a month to see if it has any therapeutic effects. Being that it's an anti-depressant it would also likely improve your self esteem. These SSRI medications are often hit and miss (meaning they work for some people but not others). They are generally the first line treatment in the psychiatric field for anxiety. The Clozel-Beta is a clonazepam .5 mg and Propranolol 20 mg formulation. The clonazepam is a benzodiazepine which should immediately provide relief for your anxiety and associated symptoms. The...

Hi, I've just started taking Lexamil 10mg 2 days ago, for the first time. I found that it made me extremely sleepy and slowed my movements as well slurring speech and it feels as though I'm on a high. I didn't take it today and opted to rather take it at night. Would it still help the way it should if I take it at night? My Dr also said that it would make me gain weight (which I am happy about) but it seems to have decreased my appetite and I actually don't feel hungry. Will this change after the initiation period of about 2 weeks? Your help is appreciated. Thanks. ## I found that sleepiness was a side effect I experienced for the first month of taking it. I was hungry all the time and I felt spaced out. I halved my dose after 2 months of this and all the symptoms stoppe...

I would like to go off Lexamil 10mg. How can I do it ? Can I leave it at once ? ## How long have you been taking it and what has your doctor advised? Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and, if you've been taking it for a long period of time, then a sudden cessation may cause withdrawal and rebound effects, which may be worse than the condition you started taking it to treat. In most cases, it is best to taper these types of medications, as slowly as possible. ## I've been using it for 9 months now. Should I first reduse it. I'm gaining wait and think it is the Lexamil. ## Yes, you should definitely speak to your doctor about a tapering plan to get off of it and avoid most of the withdrawal and rebound effects. They may even b...

My doctor (who I don't have much confidence in) prescribed a combination of 40mg Escitalopram (Lexapro), 200mg Clomipramine (Anafranil) and 60mg Mirtazapine (Remaron). The maximum dose of Escitalopram and Mirtazapine is 20mg and 45mg respectively. This combination seems insane and I've not found anything on the internet to indicate that this combination has ever been used. Has anyone here used this combination of meds at such doses? Is this a safe combination? ## Various combinations and dosages are often used in the U.S., if someone isn't responding to other medications and dosage combinations. Sometimes, they have to be tailored to the individual being treated. The NIH warns that you may experience more side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and sedation. Hav...
