Just a update I have taken 3 of the Lexapro and Iam very tired and dont feellike myself I also didnt sleepwelllast 2 nights Of course had all these symptoms prior to Lexapro I will say it got rid of the creepy crawling under my arms that I suffered with for 6 weeks. It was like restless arm syndrome and it went away only 3 days on the Lexapro keeping my fingers crossed it doesnt come back. Dejay also is on lexapro a week ahead of me and just so you all know she is doing so much better. She was awful 2 weeks ago and now she is laughing and decorating her Christmas Tree. I was really worried about her as she and I have become so close. She swears she has no side effects from the Lexapro I feel tired and kind of blah I need to get back to work and get back on track and its so hard and so frustrating I only slept 3 hours last night and wish I could take a nap but I cant. DJ is seeing a therapist and she said the checmicals in our brains were altered by the stupid pill but that we will be back to normal. I hate that I had to take a pill to get over Yaz/Yasmine as I said I didnt even take a Tylenol prior to this experience. Does anyone else have any experience with the Lexapro?? Cant believe I had to take it I too had been to the Emergency like 7 times in 7 weeks everytime telling em Iam fine except the first time I was anemic. The last time I went to the ER the doctor told me to see a shrink.....he didnt believe a pill could trigger this Dejay and I are so mad about the pill It has stolen a part of our life and robbed a part of our soul This experience forever changed us both We have to do something everyday innocent women are taking the pill only to end up where we are today! Its wrong Very very wrong I have had pharmacist my doctor other doctors tell me its not the pill well it was the pill or the effects it played on my hormones It made me a person who never took medication in my life have to take Lexapro!

I have had the same problem if you look at my profile. I was like Manic on the Lexapro. I had to be switched to Zoloft. I have never had any psych issues before. I actually went as far as having my hormones and neurotransmitters checked, and they were both very low. My progesterone level was that of a menopausal woman. I have had awful frightening thoughts and fears. I am being treated like I have panic disorder, and I am okay with that as long as my symptoms get better. All I know is that I didn't have any problems until they started messing with my BCP's. I hope you girls are on the right track, because it can be HELL. Try to look at it as a situation to learn from and grow in life. Trust in GOd!! He will not give you anything you can't face. Best wishes to both of you.
