I have OCD and GAD and today I was given a prescription for 5mg of Lexapro to take daily. One of my major anxieties is feeling nauseous and surrounds getting sick. I absolutely hate feeling nauseous but I have noticed that for some people feeling nauseous is a side effect of taking lexapro, especially in the beginning but usually side effects this severe only occur with higher doses it seems (10+mg). My dosage is very small so I'm not absolutely freaking out but I am a relatively small person (5'4 and 105 lbs) and I'm just worried if starting 5mg of lexapro might make me feel sick. Also, if it does, has anyone found any way to counteract it? Taking it with a meal? Taking it in the morning or at night? Taking another anti-nausea medication? Mentioning any other positive experiences with starting out with 5mg of Lexapro would also help greatly. Any and all help is appreciated, thank you!
