[Danny1986]

I have been taking lexapro for 3 days,and tonight i am going through hell.i have a euphoric feeling,my skin feels numb/tingly i cant settle at all had 7 panic attacks in as many hours.....
I am freaking out the people i live with,it has been going on for 6 weeks now.I cant work and am finding it increasingly difficult to socialise.

Are you feeling better? I had similar reactions when I started Lexapro, but it got better. I still get headaches, but the other side effects are pretty much all gone.

Yes, stop taking them.

It's weird how medicine works, lexapro helps me immensely while it can mess others up.

I know how you feel, I had a bad reaction to vybryd and had to go to a self help clinic after suicidal and homicidal thoughts. I wanted to kill myself because the physical pain I was getting from the bad reaction was beyond horrific.

Take it easy and breathe my man, you can get through this and it will pass. You will come out stronger than before.
