Nervous Lexapro

Started taking Lexapro about 5 days ago after being on celexa a few years. it seemed to not be working. Have a funny feeling in neck and a dry throat. I can't tell if this is anxiety about the new drug. I don't want to give up on it, but feel nervous.

Hello, Fay! How are you?

You are likely experiencing some withdrawal effects from stopping the Celexa, coupled with the side effects of starting the Lexapro.

Things should balance back out in a couple weeks, once your body adjusts. Typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache and weight changes.

If your symptoms get worse, or you find them concerning, please feel free to contact your doctor or post back with more questions.

Is there anything else I can help with?
