After I spoke to my family practice doctor about my depression and social anxiety, he proscribed 10 mg of Lexapro. I have had the bottle on my nightstand since late January. I read about all the potential side effects, especially sleeplessness. I already take 10 mg of Ambien , just to get 4-5 hours of interrupted sleep. I have never really had any serious side effects from any drug I’ve ever taken, but Lexapro has so many potential side effects that I have decided that at 78 I’ll just deal with the depression I have for as long a time as I have left.
I am currently on Paroxetine
( Paxil brand name) I’m 78 and on 40 mg. Has anyone on this antidepressant found it can stop working? I’ve been on it for many years.
