Hi Mike, I'm having the same experience as you are. I have taken Lexapro and then the generic for over 14 years with no issue and recently refilled my meds. After 3 doses, I started wondering why I am getting brain zaps and other symptoms, similar to withdrawal side effects if I skipped a couple doses in the past. I also have vertigo and dizziness, feverish sweating, etc. When I googled this, I saw many others have the same problem, mostly with the manufacturer Solco (China). I've taken this manufacturer before with no problems, so just a batch batch? I'm on the phone with insurance company now trying to get approval for brand name Lexapro and they said it's not covered but if my doctor submits prior authorization, it may be covered. This is so scary that a med we take regularly could actually be making us sick. I feel especially sorry for teens or young adults who don't have the good experience on Lexapro and think something is really wrong with them that can't be helped. I'm going to see if the pills I have on hand can be analyzed by a lab and submit a form to the FDA (Medwatch) also. I hope you got the help you needed to get a legitimate med. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone with this issue.
