What are Lexamil 10mg tablets used for? I have started taking these pills last month and I get severe headaches that are usually followed by a nose bleed, so I decided to stop taking them.

I have been on Lexamil 10mg for 2 years and have been experiencing a horrible sour taste in my mouth, is this due to continuous use of Lexamil? Or could this be a digestive problem? The taste causes me to become even more depressed. Has anyone else experienced a sour taste in the mouth whilst taking Lexamil?

Hi. I'm 34 and have been on lexamil 10mg for 3 1/2 weeks. Last week I experienced a really bad headache and an earache to the point where I became dizzy and off balance. I am still having these symptoms and it is causing me major anxiety. I am worried that I am going to have a stroke. Anyone else have these symptoms? Could it be lexamil? Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon,

I have been on Lexamil (10mg) for 2 days now and I feel like a zombie. Can I stop taking them and if so, what are the side effects? I have gone back to the gym now and feel better off without it.

I'm a 26 year old female, been using 10mg lexamil for two years now. It is amazing with fighting depression! Really made a difference. But it completely took away my libido unfortunately, which wasn't as important as feeling happy at the time. Now that I'm at a better place in my life and have a partner, having no libido is just impossible. Chose what's most important in your life right now.

I took Lexamil for 6 years. I'm sure it made me crazy but the dr fully stopped me after a dose of 20g / a day. Before it I took Paroxetine but the SAFD doesn't supply this. I was also prescribed slleping tabs zolpidem 10g - I took them, but would still be awake in the middle of the nights. May I take more or better sleeping tabs? Thanks. I'm more worried about the Lexamil making me feeling bad in the afternoon.

Weight gain is an unfortunate, but normal side effect of almost all antidepressant medications.

Anyone else have experience using this medication?

I don't think people should discontinue lexamil just because they have a fear of weight gain. Then you just have to exercise more. If I miss two days of taking my meds, I'm back to my old lonely self again. So it seems these people don't really need lexamil, if they can give it up so quickly.
