Still wondering if this is from lexapro
So I lurked a little bit in this sub I was out on work leave for about month. Was prescribed lexapro. I have had issues with benzos before and ssris as they seem to not really work out for me. I'm not knocking the drug it just didn't work for me. I took it for 3 days and unfortunately I had pretty nasty adverse reaction that ending me up in the er. It's been since memorial day. Today I'm a little bit more worn out than usual I did take me a about 7 or 8 days to recover from that reaction. But the tingling still remains on and off and of course the anxiety. But nothing like I felt when I was on lexapro unfortunately. They wanted me to try another medication I declined. So it's been about two weeks and I'm still kind of feeling it but today a little more for some reason. I fucked up and had a 16 ounce German brew on saturday. But I wonder if I messed up the process by doing that.
The Drs says I shouldn't have lingering withdrawals but I have had them before with benzos and alcohol. And was told that Lexapro works similar like Prozac which I did take for about 6 years or so. Any advice or similar symptoms. It has not been pleasant but I am envious of people who have had success and it being a game changer. Sucks that wasnt my outcome thanks for reading.
