Lexapro sides

Doctor has suggested 10 mg of Lexapro for Social Anxiety.  Still considering it and have been doing research.  A lot of conflicting info on sides and, although i know it's extremely individual was wondering about the experience of people who are very physically active. I workout at least six days per week and get a lot of enjoyment out of it.  Will Lexapro sap my energy and make it harder?

Hello IQue,

 

I have been on lexapro, and other meds to find one that works for me you should talk w/ your dr. about the exersize and the effects of lexapro.  Keep me posted if you don't mind on what you learn.  Hang in there.

thanks dewalt.   i'm really focused on trying everything but the meds.  just don't want tos tart down that road. i'm trying to view it as a last resort and i'm not sure my doc views it that way.

 

i'll keep you updated.

Good for you hope it works out for you .  Just some advise though if it turns out that meds may be the last resort, there is no shame in that. No one likes to take meds but believe it or not sometimes it might be necessary.

All the best and keep in touch.

I took lexapro. I started out with 10mg and i didnt really feel a difference. Then I ran out before my checkup appointment and I got the side effects like nausea, dizziness, weakness, and more. It lasted for over a week. I wont take it again. It was horrible. But if you do take it then make sure you keep up on them.
