> I have been on Lexapro for about 4 months. At first the medication made me feel very sick like I need to puke and it gave me horrible headaches. My doc prescribed Celebrex and Inderal to help cope with the headaches and to help me relax so I could fall asleep better. My anxiety is much better now. Before Lexapro, my anxiety was so bad that I would practically pass out.
Hi stuckinarut,
My psychiatrist told me at my last appointment, which was about 2 months ago that I should maybe try Lexapro. I am currently taking Effexor XR, 75 mg and have been for about 6-7 months. At one point I increased to 150 mg and then went back to 75 mg because I did not notice any improvement. I do not know what to do about the Effexor because I am gaining a lot of weight on it. But I have read some things about Lexapro that I am afraid of. You said you had terrible headaches in the beginning. Do you still have them? I am really afraid of this because I have migraines adn have to take Imitrex for those. Please advise. Thanks, jtc
