Side effect?
I’m on week 2 of Lexapro…only 4th day on 20 mg. I love it…so much
better than the Cymbalta/Wellbutrin cocktail; I can’t even tell you. My
thing is this, when I take the Lexapro my heart feels like it’s pouding
hard. Now I’ve had agoraphobia in the past and plenty of panic attacks
etc so I am very much attuned to it when I feel my heart pounding like
that. I don’t feel anxious(maybe because I have beat the agoraphobia
though and am just not as anxious anymore) but the heart pounding lasts
4 about 4 or 5 hours. It is distracting and keeps me from sleeping. I
take it when I get home at 6 pm or so and by 10 am ready to poop out
but usually have another hour before the pounding calms down enough to
sleep. I’m fine when I get up in the morning.
Has anyone else had this problem and do you think it will pass? I feel
so good otherwise that I sure don’t want to switch if this will go
away…
