All about Lexapro

Hi, I’m Niki, 24, and from IL. I have been on Lexapro 10 for almost
a month and the last week has been straight from hell. Well 1st I
should say I felt like my world was caving in due to some life
changes so I went in to see my doctor. She sent me home with a
month’s supply and didn’t say a word, just see how it goes and come
back and see her.
Anyway back to the last week. I have extreme daytime sleepiness
where I will actually nod off at work or I will be doing the chicken
bob. I yawn constantly. Then when I finally flop into bed at night
say around 10pm, I am wide awake at 2am and cannot get back to bed!
It has progressively gotten worse. Also I have to pee constantly. I
also have a feeling of fullness or bloating, sometimes even nausea so
I haven’t been eating as well as I should.
All of this to me just makes me more depressed and more suicidal then
before! I have great panic attacks, my boyfriend says I snap easily
and then I clam up. I also have hot flashes during the day and I go
to bed freezing cold but wake up in a sweat.
All I want to know is how can this help me if its causing so much
pain now? I am going back to the doctor in a couple days and would
like opinions on what I should do or what she might say to me.
Thanks.
