Posted by Someone Else at 1:42am Nov 28 '09I'm not positive which one it is, but I'm pretty sure it's the lexapro. Half an hour or so after taking it, tagamet (an acid reducer), and 2,000 iu of D3, I feel woozy, sick, dizzy, faint, shivery. I got two nosebleeds today, randomly. I almost never get nosebleeds (albeit two in a day isn't that implausible if I get one), so the chance of the timing being coincidental is a bit low...
I also haven't slept through the night since I started it. It's not uncommon for me to wake up in the night, but usually not multiple nights in a row nor multiple times in a night. Not unless the cats are waking me up.
Upon looking up the side effects, all this jives--additionally, I have very little appetite, but my appetite changes a ton, so that may be totally unrelated to the lexapro.
I haven't noticed any positive effect in my anxiety yet, but I'm only on day 3.
I think I'm gonna stop taking the lexapro. Presuming that's what's causing this feeling, I really, really hate it.
Honestly, my anxiety isn't bad enough that I want a regular prescription. I like having lorazepam for panic attacks, but I'm mostly able to control it. I don't really want a regular prescription, especially with the side effects. I just want the nausea gone, and that is very likely to be caused by the vitamin D problem...
