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.

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 am on lexamil for 7 months now, just be careful what you eat, when I eat healthy and limit sugars I have no weight problem.

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.

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.

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?

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 3 weeks now and the side effects have not gone away. I feel a bit better for a day or two then the nausea and light headache comes back again, and during my period I feel it more. Is it normal? I am also yawning a lot.
