hubby isnt getting it today im on a big cocktail of meds. My dr put me on Lexapro yesterday to help with anxiety but also to keep taking the oxy which the pharmacist told me to be careful about. then the lyrica and lidoderm. I took the lexapro last night and you would think i went swimming i woke up in that much sweat it was so gross. im also just so very very tired today. That is what is pissing him off. i felt to sick to my stomach to go to to school and really this is the first time sitting up all day. i just dont feel well. pain isnt too bad but keeps getting sharp pangs. Have any of you guys been on the lexapro with your pain meds? How far in between did you take them?

" I was on lexapro for over a year and took mine at bedtime with all my other meds. never had that reaction so you might want to call your doc and ask his advice on whether you should continue the meds. also...lexapro caused me to gain weight...now I take good ole dependable prozac, works better for me than any other anti-depressant I have ever took.

good luck with getting it all straight. I know how frustrating it is trying to find the right combination of meds for you. "
