REPORT

I have to agree with Philoz, I have never felt normal on Lexamil. I have weaned off and it is my 7th day off completely, there are side effects and as far as i am concerned, they do more harm than good.

I have been on Lexamil for about three years, I decided to stop last month and the only 'withdrawal symptoms I have had are slight dizzy spells. Will these go away after a while. I was interested to see that it causes weight gain. I have gained a fairly large amount of weight over the period and despite trying several diets, cannot shift it. Now on a Low Gi plan and doing more exercise.

i have been on lexamil (different strength) for 9 months. past 5 months 20mg. it has had a life changing effect on me. i still tend to be premenopausal but not nearly as irratible en anxious as before. my anger has also subdued majorly. i was not in control of myself but since taking lexamil i actually feel normal. i was diagnosed with bipolar 2 and neglected depression. i have gained weight though, about 5kgs but have been stable for 3 months now. i also stopped excersizing about the same time because of a knee injury so cannot blame the meds. would not even consider stopping my meds again. tried before. big mistake. i would rather be a nice, happy overwieght(60 kg) person than an out of control witch!

Jolet, I was perscribed Lexamil last week, and have taken one half tablet! That night, I felt sick to my stamch Knowing that I had a pill that was changing my way of thinking...or in the process there of. Anybody can argue, but I TRUELLY believe that ANTI DEPRESSANTS IS NOT A CURE...and NOT the best sollution to stress/depression etc. Find the problem, and start from there. I am too petrified. JUST the mere fact that they say you cannot just continue Lexamil, that you need to gradually stop...makes me question the safety of any anti depressant... WHY, what will happen if I just stop.. All medication has a negative side to them. I have a full box of Lexamil, and I am actually consering throwing it away. WHO wants to take pills to live? or to think properly..NOT ME...i want to LEARN to controll myself. WIll take long time...but better than popping a pil every morning.

Hey.. When I got on lexamil the dr told me not to expect too much from the pill yet. Lexamil does take a few months to work. :) I hope I helped.

Thank you guys for your inputs,however, as a married man I cannot compromise my marriage due to low libido because it was was serious with me.I dicided to discontinue it.
Another problem was bad toothache for which lexamil was a culprit.I discovered that from the internet. Surely, after its dicontinuation the toothache stopped. I am fine without lexamil.Before, I was helpless and hopeless and scared of life.But now all that ceased after two weeks taking awful lexamil.

No one knows exactly why or how any prescription drugs cause the side effects that they do. They are not always experienced by everyone that takes them, some people don't have any at all, so please consult your doctor before deciding to discontinue a medication due to fear of possible side effects.

I was on lexamil for 6 months and after about a month started feeling like my old self, I did not renew my script after the 7th month as I felt as good as new.I have been off of Lexamil for 2 months and I feel worse than before. I am going back to the doctor this evening. Lexamil definately affected my sex drive, but it was worth it to feel human again and to be able to get out of bed. I do want to know though, if I will ever be able to live without it, AM I EVER GOING TO FEEL NORMAL NATURALLY???
