My Dr took me off Ativan and put me on Lexapro today SIDE effects killing me puking and diaharea for 13 Hours no sleep Anyone please give me your advice

Give it time to work. If you feel rough and worried see your GP.

It may be just a gippy tummy.caused by something you have eaten. The new medication has not had long enough to work. Try some Immodium from the Chemist

Hi I would go back to your dr as a matter of urgency to report these adverse side effects. and for a medical assessment

Mind my asking you why your dr changed your medication?

I would be wary of taking anything without consulting at least one pharmacist and your doctor.

 

Im sorry to hear you are unwell. How long have you been on ativan for ?

I would also like to know how long you were on Ativan.If you were on for a long period of time you may be suffering from withdrawal.You should have been tapered off slowly

That was my first concern as withdrawl from ativan can appear after 4-12hrs as it is short acting benzo x
