I've been on Cipralex 10mg meltz for a week. The first day of taking it was the only good day I've had since. The next day I woke up at 6am shaking uncontrollably. I barely made it to the bathroom in time to be sick so violently I almost passed out because I couldn't stop long enough to breathe at all. I was warned when I started it not to stop it cold turkey or else I'd feel like I had a terrible flu. But that's what I feel like ON this damn things. My skin is sensitive and numb, I get headaches constantly, I'm always feeling like I'm going to puke and gravel does nothing for it. If I take pepto it works for about five minutes of relief then i'm right back to being sick. I'm not hungry often, I have no will to eat, but one a day, usually around 8pm, I'll suddenly feel starving and on top of the nausea my stomach cramps up so bad I can't stand up straight. My stomach is bloated most of the time. I feel dizzy and something that worries be even more than all the stomach pain is what it's doing to my mind capacity. I'll be trying to have a conversation with my boyfriend and in the middle of trying to explain something I suddenly mumble and slurr everything together, or I'll stop dead because I can think of the word I need but no matter how hard I can't get my mouth to form it. And my hands. I keep dropping things because my grip just lets go or I'll try to pick something up, think I'm holding tight enough and I'm really not. My hand eye coordination is usually very good, I have fast reflexes. But now is different. I'll go to grab something and just knock it over instead. If something falls I can't catch it, it's already hit the ground by the time my hands go to grab it. I just feel so sick. I feel okay when I wake up in the morning but I know as soon as I take that damn pill I'll be on the couch dying all day. I've been to my doctors office but my doctor wasn't there, I had to see a nurse about it and all she told me was to wait it out. She told me to come back in a month if I was still feeling sick. A MONTH. I can't live like this for a month. Also I can't tell if it's the medication or just being suck on a couch every day unable to do anything or go anywhere thats making me feel more depressed. I was put on this medication for anxiety, my depressed was ruled as mild enough she didn't think we'd need to treat it.

Edit:
Reading this over I found a lot of missplaced words. That's also something not normal for me but has been happening now.

That sounds pretty bad for a reaction to a new medication. If that is Lexapro 10 mg, then it's terrible compared to how I felt when I first took it. Maybe you should call back and tell them you don't think you can't wait it out a month and tell the nurse how bad it is.
