Now first off I want to say that medication doesn't really agree with me......ever......Well I started taking my lexapro this past friday night. I ended up waking up in the middle of the night with a very bad case of nausea and my heart felt really warm that would send a wave of heat to the rest of my body. I ended not eating anything for the whole day because I was so sick. So I ended up stop talking it because I am really scared about me eating and know I couldn't with the nausea I was having. Today I don't feel as bad but still had a hard time eating. With everything that happend this weekend I had a slight case of anxiety. I can thankfully say thou that the anxiety wasn't from the medication thou but from me not eating.

Hi Duce94, My doctor had me try Lexapro also and it didn't go to well. But I had a laxative effect and didn't feel myself at all. The feelings (very tired,had nausea,very spacey)lasted about 24 hours. My doctor said it didn't have any GI side effects. Well it did!!

Hi everyone, I was so glad to read this post becuase I had very similar problems (nausea, racing heart, "burning" sensation throughout my entire body, etc.) when I took Lexapro. I took it for 3 days and the side effects never went away so I quit taking it. Everyone that I have told this to acts shocked. They say that Lexapro has never caused problems like that in anyone else. I am glad to see that I am not alone!

lexapro has nausea as a side effect but they don't list any gi effects. it's a potent ssri and like any antidepressant it takes a week or so before your body gets used to it. the laxative effect is aninteresting one.tom

I was just prescribed it today, for depression. I fill my prescriptions at CVS. On the patient prescription info page they gave me along with it lists side effects in this order:"nausea vomitingdiarrheaconstipationupset stomachloss of appititedizzinessdrowsinesstrouble sleepingdry mouthunusually fast/slow heartbeat should be reported immidiatey."But I have heard that the risk of any of these things happening is very low. I think it was a good idea that you guys discontinued your usage of it.
