In reply to Hangover feeling.....strange anxious, posted by johnj on November 3, 2002, at 10:37:34
> I have been on lexapro (2.5 mg) for a few days. I have a headache, hangover feeling and some very different anxious feelings I have never had before. Does anyone have this? and did it go away at a certain dose. I am starting low to titrate up slowly since I am med sensistive. I have depression with anxiety/GAD type symptoms. I am wondering if it would be best to jump to 5 or 10 mg and ride this feeling out(if it does go away), I started low so my body would adjust slowly. Thanks
> johnj*** 2.5mg is very low...but only you know your own sensitivity (compared to other drugs and doses)...the nausea/dizziness/headache s/e I see and hear occurs in the 1st week or so, and the same people say it goes away around the 2nd week or so...this was for people taking the normal 10mg starting dose. I have seen some people who tried lower doses have this too, and when it went away and they titrating up...it happened again for a few days...depending how bad it is for you...maybe "toughing it out" once is better...you will have to decide for yourself. good luck and keep us posted.
