Just started lexapro 5mg and doing it 10mg in a few days as my GP said
The side effects on day one and two were nausea and head pressure
But today I feel shortness of breath a lot is it a side effect
I hope it goes away soon
Feel weak and lazy as well
Facial pressure is almost killing me but I can take my prescribed kloponins to help me until it works
Hey Max, I was on Celexa and Lexapro for years (15+). Very effective with relatively manageable side affects. For me it took 4-6 weeks for it to settle in. Most ADs share these similar side affects, however they pass and you should feel better soon. You may want to compliment your process with avoiding caffeine, incorporate some exercise, and try meditation/mindfulness exercises. Breathing exercises are helpful too. Just know your not alone and stay strong.
