Lizelle, you are not supposed to take alcohol with antidrepressants. It can be lethal. A moderate glas of wine or a beer should not have such an impact. Alcolhol is also a depressant. He can not just stop taking Lexamil, he need to ween himselve in consultation with your GP. Good luck.

THAT makes so much sense now! I could not understand the toothache?
Are you using some other product without side effects?

Was changed from Cilift to Lexamil - as I was battling to loose weight gained on Cilift - still battling but now find that even one glass of wine gives me a severe head ache which no painkiller takes away the following day - could this be a possible side effect of Lexamil as the timing co-incidess with when I started the Lexamil

Hi Lizelle,
My husband is also on Lexamil and even just one whisky makes him comatose. He has no appetite and no sex drive and has serious stomach problems (he has always been prone to stomach problems and I think the Lexamil has exacerbated it.) I struggle to understand how a pill that is supposed to make you feel better about life can take away all of life's pleasures. Have you found a solution for your hubby yet?

I have recently been perscribed the Lexamil 10mg and am petrified after reading about seizures, dizziness etc. I dont care about some weight gain or low sex drive... but seizures is another story. WIll I feel the difference immediately? Is it a good idea to take my first pil at work? I am sitting with it in my hand, staring, scared of what this thing is going to do.. can someone please calm this crazy mind down of mine.

Dear Bianca. It is not that bad. It will only start working after a few days. My GP let me took half the dose for a few days and then the full dose. My first side effect was clenched jaws but that went away after some time. Then I could not reach orgasm. Now after about a year my sex drive is down the drain. My dose was also doubled since then.

I took that half tablet in the morning, and have not taken one again.
I have decided...Take a pil every morning for the rest of my life, that gone change ME...OR...find the problem, and solve it, still have sex drive, still be me....
My decision - BYE BYE LEXAMIL, but you will not take over me.

I am bipolar and started experiencing anxiety attacks for no apparant reason, the lexamil 5mg was then prescribed to me for the attacks, after the 2nd day i am finding it to cause rapid mood swings (more highs than lows). was then advised by Dr to discontinue use, is it possible that the body would need some time to adapt to the lexamil, or that it just clashes with the other bipolar meds (Epilim and Seroquel)

Hi there,

I am a Masters student of Landscape Architecture. It its only 3,5 months in and i am suffering from bad anxiety attacks. I can't stop crying and my mind races constantly, even when i'm out taking a break. My GP put me on to Lexamil to help me cope- I have been on it for 6 days and I feel even worse. Is this normal? Should I not listen to my body and discontinue the Masters as I feel like I am not coping emotionally? I don't know what to do....

I have been on Lexamil for a year now. I must say I have been on other anti depressants before, but this one seem to agree with me more. Now its time for e me to stop them and I have weaned myself off of them, but now its the long haul before I can feel normal again. I have one question though. How long before the withdrawl side effects dissappear?
