I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through there with all those side effects. If I may suggest anything that could be of help, it would be that you consider looking into alternative or natural medicine to treat whatever it is you're taking those prescriptions for.

As far as taking Lexamil (Escitalopram) goes, in my honest opinion, your best bet it usually to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. They are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and can also help you treat the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression, as opposed to covering up the feelings and emotions with medication; unless you decide that you're ok with only treating the symptoms for as long as they persist...

I'm stating this based on personal experience with severe depression for over 2 years, and covering it up can help you get by temporarily, but not indefinitely. This may be something to think about if you feel like the side effects aren't worth the benefits of taking the drug.

If you don't feel like you're in good health, it may also be very beneficial to get blood work done so you can see for yourself where you stand and what you can make improvements on over time.

I hope this helps!
