Just started taking 10mg cipralex yesterday to treat general anxiety and panic attacks I’ve been having. Yesterday I felt like wired, bouncing off the wall. This morning I felt like absolute garbage like I’d been hit by a truck. And during the day today I just felt like absolute garbage, dizzy, nauseous, no appetite, headache, jaw clenching, shakiness, some heart palpitations and a tingly feeling in my skin.
Is all of this normal? Am I going to be okay?
Hi Sam,
I too had all those weird horrible symptoms...it's taken a long time for me to settle but I have finally.
Perhaps you need to take half a tablet for a week or too first, to minimise the symptoms...I know Escitalopram is suppose to have the least symptoms but I had the most on them.

Gina I have been on 10mgs of Lexapro for 18 days for horrible anxiety, I don’t have bad side effects but was wondering how long it took for the anxiety to ease. Yesterday I felt so much better.
Everything is beyond normal what you are experiencing !
The first 1-2 weeks are the toughest
Hold on!
For some of us it needs longer . You need to find also the right dose .
For me it always took full 8 weeks plus ti feel that relief!
